MOMENTS TO REMEMBER THIS WEEK:
Update: On 4/17/20 I had a three hour glucose test since I did not pass the one hour test last week. For the three hour test I had to fast for 12 hours and had four lab draws.
Lab #1 – initial blood draw glucose = 92 needed to be less than 98
After the first draw I drank the glucose drink. I was super sweet and I had to drink all of it within 5 minutes.
Lab #2 – happened one hour later – glucose = 177 needed to be less than 180
Lab #3 – glucose = 151 needed to be less than 155
Lab #4 – I don’t know what it was but I passed the test!
I also found out I was anemic, so now I have to start iron supplements. Ugh!
