Glucose Test

On Saturday morning I had my glucose testing at the hospital. I wasn't able to eat anything for at least 10 hrs prior to the test, so I was pretty cranky, tired and irritable by the time we made it to the appointment. The process itself wasn't too bad, but what they make you drink is horrible!
They first start by taking your blood and then ask you what flavor you want... orange, fruit punch or lemon lime. I opted for orange (as if any of them are better than the other) and began to chug down the thick syrupy orange drink. Even as I'm typing this now my nose is squinting and my stomach is turning- it was disgusting.

Then they have you lay back and "relax" for an hour. Thankfully Michael was there to keep me company. He really helped to distract me while I was feeling nauseous. After the first hour, they draw blood again and then you are back to relaxing for another hour. Again they draw your blood and then you can leave.

Let's just say the first stop after that was to get a double cheeseburger! Not the healthiest choice but nothing sounded good and I needed some protein!

Anxious to get the results later this week and fingers crossed all went well so I don't have to do that again.
