I was called upon to do a glucose test (aka drink 2 bottles of yucky orange drink) and get tested after 1 and 2 hours of drinking it respectively. Basically, the test was horrible. I was already sleep deprived due to my hormones going crazy which led to my eczema flaring up. Then, I had to swallow 2 whole bottles of this syrupy drink, which I almost vomited out. Anyway, cutting the long story short, i was a borderline failure for this test. And since I was with a private gynae, he set me up on a strict diet of lean protein, vegetable and minimal carbs. I also had to prick my finger 5 times a day to measure my blood glucose. Finger pricking To measure the blood glucose, I had to get the Accu Chek kit....
