What should a person do after glucose test?

After a glucose test:

- Rest for a few minutes. Lying down can help prevent dizziness or fainting.

- Eat a substantial meal. This will help to restore your blood sugar levels.

- Avoid alcohol. Alcohol can lower your blood sugar levels, which could lead to problems if your blood sugar is already low.

- Drink plenty of fluids. This will help to keep you hydrated, as glucose testing can cause dehydration.

If you experience any of the following symptoms after a glucose test, call your doctor immediately:

- Chest pain

- Shortness of breath

- Blurred vision

- Seizures

- Loss of consciousness
