I am up for one soon, the doc is looking into another problem and wants to rule Glucose Intolerance out as a cause.
So. I happen to have access to blood testing and such and did one myself at home, in advance of the real thing. No point in asking a question you don't already have the answer to, right?
However, I am not completely understanding my results and seek input into the test technique. Ie, did I do it wrong somehow. I really thought my BG would go higher even for a non-prediabetic (is it ok to say 'normal' person?)
All tests done by OneTouch capillary sampling, Except the 2 hour one as noted:
Resting for the 2 hours, no activity.
Time 0:00 BG 95 (12 hr fasting). Ingested 150ml of 50% IV dextrose (75gm glucose)
Time 0:30 BG 176
Time 0:60 BG 102
Time 0:90 BG 113
Time 0:120 BG 107 Confirmed via arm venipuncture on same device: 110
My readings suggest my BG should have at least stayed above 150 @ 60mins so I am thinking I did the test wrong.
I realize there are different protocols out there, this one seemed to be widely disseminated by recognized institutions. How about the use of IV 50% Dextrose orally? That has to be the correct molecule; it's pure d-glucose.
Yes, I will be seeing the doc for their test in a few weeks. I also have a close relationship and will tell her about my results too.
