Good Luck with your results!  |
When I was a teen, my mother and two sisters had type2 Diabetes. Every blasted year I had to go in for the three hour test! After 5 years and a new Dr. She told me never again with the gloucose, because that many times can give you diabetes.
Pee on a strip, or take blood just for the test after a fast. Yes I am Type 2 Diabetic now.
Did not eat healthy.
The Dr I have now hasn't done a 3 hour glucose test in nearly a decade.
I don't have time right now to peruse the National Diabetic web site- but I would start there to educate myself on whether or not the 3 hour syrup guzzling test is really necessary.
