I got the test done through an endocrinologist. I, in my naivete, thought that he would know better than I! I'm now seeing a naturopath, who was worked WONDERS. I highly recommend him. You can find him at Treat The Root Cause.

I live in Jax too. Why did you get the test in the first place? Are you seeing a Gastro? Do you like him.. I have lots of issues… but I am looking to do a 5 hr test. I thought you do it in a hospital according to my doc.

hi,

i am suspicious i have this disorder.

i am doing a GTT at home this saturday. i have 2 questions:

do you have to eat carb-rich diet 3 days before the test?

what amount of glucose do you take the day of the test (i’ve read 100mg of glucose and seen your picture of 50 grams of dextrose)?

Hi– I’ve been reading your site for a couple of months and have commented before… but I noticed you mentioned a Jags fan. Do you live in the JAX area? I just moved here if you do, and it would be a neat connection if you were in the area.

My last GTT was two hours and was sooo dreadful. It was also at Quest. Good for you for being able to stay in the waiting room. I had to go lay down in my car. I got up to over 300 and then down to 31. I had to have glucose tabs in my pocket as soon as she drew the last vile of blood.

Thanks for sharing!
