my local hospital does the glucose intolorence test, not my gp. i feel nausea, so thirsty and exhausted also i am very red in the face, that is what my mam says. My gp didn't explain about the results of my urine sample only that i had over 3 litres of urine in 24 hours which is apparently to much for my 4"11 frame. Apparently I need to drink less water. I have no idea what to do.

Whilst the local hospital may do the glucose tolerance tests, I'm somewhat astonished your mother is able to organise for you to have one. I thought your GP would have to request it.
A while ago I had to do a 24 hour urine collection for testing, and I filled 2, 2.5ltr bottles, and when I say filled, I mean filled. Had I needed to pass another drop, I could not have fitted it in.
I am only a couple of inches taller than you and very slight indeed. Whilst my GP commented that I seem to wee a lot, there was no suggestion of any abnormality. All my routine and specialist tests indicate my kidneys are just nicely efficient.
I'm somewhat concerned about your GP's response to finding glucose in your urine, but apparently doing nothing about it.
Are you in the UK, and if so, are you near decent health care facilities?
