Also, a quick update on me. I was suppose to go to my 3 hr glucose test today (thank you for all those thinking of me today). I actually cancelled it. If you know me, I'm a researcher. I have a need to find out as much as I can when it comes to medical things. I was really struggling with going for this test. It does not seem natural to me to put your body into a fast and then give it a sugar shock like that. Side effects are vomiting, fainting, sweating, shakes, nausea.....it's just not natural!! So I set out to research better ways :) Many midwives simply recommend that you take your blood sugar after each meal (using glucose strips - diabetic meter) for about a week. You can buy them for under $20 at Walmart or other pharmacies. It is a more 'real world' scenario rather than the syrupy sugar drink. So, I will be talking to my doctor and praying he will get on board with me and my idea *smile*.....I'm such a pain when it comes to following doctors orders!!
I've also been recording by blood pressure at home for the past several days. I have great readings at home....it just seems to be when I go to the doctor....so we'll see what he says about that too!
Thanks for sharing the picture of hubby's work. When you said he was easy to spot, I was looking for him in the very front. I did find him when I looked further back.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your blood pressure is reading good at home. Hopefully, the diabetic meter will give you good results as well.
Love you all
