my arms!!
went to get my bloodwork done this morning... I was really surprised at the fasting glucose test. Dr. Nick (one of my teachers) described it to us in class one day, so I had an idea of what it was supposed to be, but the idea I had was not quite what it was. You don't eat for 10 hours, then they take some blood, you drink a glucose(sugar) solution and wait in the lab for 2 hours and they take more blood. I pictured the solution to be this white, grainy, disgustingly sweet solution to choke down with your nose plugged. It was orange and it tasted exactly like orange pop. Exactly like orange pop!
I dont know what freaks me out more, the fact that they managed to cover the taste that well for that much sugar, or that maybe you could drink orange pop and give yourself a glucose load fit for testing whether or not you have diabetes. It disgusts me to think there might be that much sugar in pop.
