A member asked:
Could being under a lot of stress and crying uncontrollably (the whole time) during a glucose challenge test affect the results?

Yes: stress, be it mental or physical will cause blood sugar to rise. another test to do is a HgA1C which will give the doctor and yourself a 3 month average of what your blood sugars have been like.

Maybe: Stress causes the body to release hormones that may increase blood sugar.
