Well I had my routine check up at the doctors last week. I thought it would be a good time to have a complete physical. So my doctor and I went through all my family history and so on. He sent me for a bunch of tests the next day. I hate needles so I thought better get it all done at once. It was not too bad, they only had to take 2 viles of blood from me. On Monday the receptionist called me and told me that my blood results were back and that the doctor wanted to see me. Of course this worried the heck out of me. I was at work when they called so when I called them back they said that it was not super urgent but the doctor wanted to see me. They made an appointment with me for yesterday. So I went in yesterday morning and the doctor told me that my fasting blood sugar came back higher than it should have so now he thinks that I might have diabetes.
Diabetes runs in my moms side of the family, all of her aunts and uncles had it and she has it. So now I have to wait for 10 days and go in for what they call a glucose test. I guess it means that I have to go in after fasting for 12 hours then let them take my blood and see what the sugar levels are then they give me 75 ml of glucose. After 2 hours of having the glucose in my system they will check my blood again. If the blood sugar levels are high the doctor said I more than likely am right on the line of having diabetes or I do have them.
So today I have started cutting all the sugar out of my diet that I possibly can. I do not want to have diabetes. My mom has had it for about 15 years and she now is having kidney failure and is on dyalisis which is due to having diabetes. I also really hate needles I can’t imagine having to give myself a needle with insulin or poking my finger multiple times in a day. As I said the test is in 10 days so I will let you all know what comes of it. I really pray that I don’t have it!!!
