So I know that I will sit here and get up on my soap box and tell you all that you aren’t doctors and you should contact them for anything that seems off but damn it… I failed my O’Sullivan test with a level of 150 this week and I’m angry.
According to the directions I needed to fast for two hours before arriving to take the test. So what did my dumb butt do? Yes, I ate an entire package of pop tarts thinking that was one serving and only 16g of sugar. Well… First things first, one serving of pop tarts is just ONE pop tart. Not both. Secondly, if you’re going to PUMP ME WITH SUGAR and the normal range after you’ve eaten is 120-180… how do you expect me to be lower than a 135 an hour after you pump me with said sugar?
So rule number one – don’t eat before your O’Sullivan test ladies, no matter how early you get up to do so. It’s just a bad idea.
Rule number two – stay away from carbs and starches and all of those nasty things that turn into sugar the night before.
… Rule number… Nope, I don’t have another rule. But if anybody has any suggestions for what I can do while stuck at the hospital for three hours on Wednesday… I’d sure appreciate it. Ugh.
Is it bad that I’m hoping they’ll prick me at 1 hour, it will be below 135 and they’ll let me go home? Do they do that? Yeah, I’m doubtful.
Have a great weekend all.
Sincerely,
~Nikki
