Glucose Tolerance Test Results :(

Been called by hospital, my results after testing were far too low (didn't give me numbers) and they want me to go back in for more tests and a health check. :( I'm really worried.
They asked if I'd been feeling well but tbh i find it hard to answer because general pregnancy is full of 'things you cope with'. I, like many others, experience:
-fatigue (29weeks, full-time stressful job and struggling to sleep well at night)
-nose bleeds
-dizzy spells

Am I right to be worried or just overreacting? Any help or others experiences welcome. Just want to know what to expect...

No experience of this myself, my result was too high so I had GD. It makes sense to have further checks if yours was low though, worrying wont help so try to eat a low GI diet and wait for your next appointment.

I have a naturally low BM (normally about 3) and often have glucose in my urin. This causes general fatigue and dizzy spells. Iv never needed medication, I just stick to a GI diet, releases the sugar slowly, and carry glucos syrup in my handbag. Dont panic, that's my advice!
