Glucose test isn't that bad!
I was freaking out leading up to my glucose test today, super nervous and heard horror stories... It wasn't bad at all! I fasted for 3 hours before it, which wasn't too hard. I didn't get a flavor choice, they just had orange that was room temperature, but it was just sweet and had a vague chemical aftertaste. Not the worst. The hardest part was I wasn't allowed to drink any water for the hour before the blood draw, and I really wanted to wash it down with some nice cold water.
I was really worried about the blood draw part, because in the past I've made sure to have eaten before they took blood and thought it helped me not get light headed, but it was quick and easy, plus I think l then got a granola bar and all the water I wanted!
I'm so glad it's over (fingers crossed I don't have to do the three hour test), but if anyone is out there worried, don't be! You'll get through it, and it isn't torture!
