It is coming down off the spike rapidly... I have had 2 long GTTs and the second
one I got really shakey with. major discomfort.
The stress in the place..I don't give up blood easily...it raises cortisol too.
And that is a factor as well. Add in the excess adrenergic responses, adrenalin, etc and you can get very upset. I have very small veins, and each attempt involved 3 or 4 sticks...very painful.
I understand there is a new version of the test that uses finger stick.
But insurance does not pay for it all...and it is not as accurate as the
major stick with the needle. You can opt for the more humane one and pay
the difference if it is available.
I understand completely... don't feel embarrassed etc. It happens to many.
