Some medical tests are just..uh...fun.
Right now still trying to recover from the blood glucose test where medical lab requires patient to drink pure glucose and take blood test 2 hrs. later to check for elevated blood sugar level to determine diabetes 2.
I'm still recovering even after 3.5 hrs....but though test results have not been finished, it's same old feeling when I eat too much white rice, pasta or fairly sweet dessert. This hypo feeling should pass...soon.
Wish also I was more comfortable with ordinary blood drawing tests. But I never have been. I have to look away when they do it. Often the lab technician has problems finding an arm vein for sticking in a needle. Several years ago, it was done abit incorrectly and I ended up with a huge arm bruise.
My sisters who work in various health care jobs, don't have the same psychological discomforts as I do about this test.
