Just had a glucose tolerance test -- 4 hour. Felt bad at 1 hr., including fantasizing throwing chairs through windows (new to me).
At 2 hrs+: shaky, walking "wobbly", and very tired (including brain "tired") and depressed (not too bad).
Before I complained of symptoms, and after my 2 hour draw, a lab tech came out to check on me. She said that my glucose dropped, but couldn't say much more.
Shortly thereafter, I experienced the symptoms above. I had to lie down. After the last draw I was escorted to the cafeteria, where I had an apple and 2 servings of french fires in the presence of my escort. (I didn't want orange and cranberry juice). Felt better relatively soon and was allowed to drive home.
Before I left: told that my glucose drop was quite dramatic and fast.
Now that I've given you TMI: I googled up "Bipolar +hypoglycemia". The sites I clicked on seemed kinda quacky.
Is there a real connection between BP -hypomania and hypoglycemia? (don't tell me what you heard at a health food store. :)
