Holy Moly! I may never get my sugar checked - or glucose or insulin--- whatever it is they're after! Yesterday I mistakenly took a med that I was supposed to skip for thyroid test so didn't go for blood draw after all that maple syrup and pancakes and sausage and coffee cake and coffee with sugar. So today I had eggs, toast, coffee cake, sausage and off to the lab I go to arrive in time to have a 2 hr blood draw. (that is, 2 hrs after I stopped stuffing my face) The idiot who checked me in didn't understand the request and talked to no less than 4 people on the phone, faxed the form to someone and somehow got me checked in. I marched through the hospital about 12 miles to the lab where I sat eternally while the blood sucker wench got on the phone with all the same questions and she talked to 3 different supposed experts. I was now 1 hr and 5 min late for my insulin test so stood up and said "I have no confidence in this lab. Goodbye" The lab wench had the nerve to call me at home and ask why I left. I told her that I had never run into such poorly trained, inept hospital employees in my life and that if I get hit by a car on the Cape, the helicopter is going to Boston --- NOT CAPE COD HOSPITAL.
So if I'm diabetic I'll have to not be aware for another week. I must go to my regular lab which is 45 min away. Meanwhile, no more high carb breakfasts for at least a week! I have the taste of cotton candy in my mouth!
And I could have gone to an ES instead but it's too late now. Would have been more productive!!! Grrrrrrr!
