Glucose test... the doc was right

[Guest guest]

Remember al the griping & moaning I did in the last two weeks about

the glucose test ordered for me?? I found the studies, protested

with my husband etc...

I was given a choice of starting immediate diabetic care with

multiple finger prickings and the expense of those darn test strips

or take the glucose test.

I went for it after much debate with two of the docs at the

practice. It was a 50 gm glucose test with a one hour wait for

blood draw.

They layed me down in a bed at the lab, gave me a call button and

were very very very careful with me. Guess what??

I *DID NOT DUMP*. The doc claims the 3 hour test is far worse, with

100 grams of glucose. He says I will *NOT* have to get that one.

So is there a difference with the 1 hour 50 gram and the 3 hour 100

gram and gastric bypass patients?? Or did some of you get sick on

the 50 gram/1 hour??

Was I lucky or was my doctor right??

Thanks for the input!

10 weeks and still vomiting, hoping it will end soon
