need journal article stating no Glucose testing

November 2, 2004

Where can I get the link of the journal article that says NO GLUCOSE

TESTING. The link from this site isnt working on my computer. Can

any email it to me as an attachment? CoastalCounseling@...

My doc has me set up for the 1 hour 50 gram test this week even though

my husband and I protested. I want to fax him the info.

Is he liable if I provide the documentation, he says the test is

necessary AND I get very ill?? Im still worrying about it.

I would just tell the Dr. you're not taking the test -- period! If

he continues to protest, you're early enough to find another Dr.

who'll be more understanding of your needs and concerns.

Good luck!

Moderator note: Your OB can NOT make you take, drink, eat, or do ANYTHING

against your will. It's assault/battery/intent to harm (something of that negal

nature). I would tell him that you belong to a support group and the otehr

1,600+ OB's said it was an invalid test to be taken by a gastric bypass patient.

There are other tests he can do. Have him call your WLS surgeon, with tail

between legs and ask what else can he do to give him the same results.

The only thing he can do is tell you he no longer wants you as a patient b/c you

are being non-compliant. Who cares? Fina another one. They're a dime a dozen

most places!

My OB had be fast, had blood drawn, eat a balanced breakfast then was restuck 2

hrs after eating. Level was 110 which he said was borderlinge hi (I disagree of

course). lol

In any case, no one can MAKE you do anything..... except have this baby out of

one of two holes.
