This is an important test. Some of our PNers have had it.

Take someone with you to support you if you have side effects.

If you get really LOW that points to hypoglycemia, and perhaps insulin resistance. It might be useful to have a fasting insulin done at the beginning to show if it is elevated etc.

Take some energy bars with you, so when the test is over you can have one.

Many people have what is called "impaired glucose tolerance" and this test may show that, providing the doctor is experienced enough to evaluate it.
