(((Liese))) That's almost exactly what happened, except in my case, he said, "Nah, don't fast, but you may want to have a protein type breakfast, like eggs and ham or something." Unfortunately, I forgot until it was too late to have that available to eat, because my appointment was right after dropping Boo to school. I'm also pissed that I had to chug the drink in less than 30 seconds, because of the huge line for lab work and the lady before me took several minutes drinking hers while I waited. I imagine that could have been a factor. I'm trying to decide whether to plead for a retest...
(((cnfusd))) I'm less scared about having it or having a big baby. They run in our family and the only reason my first daughter was average was that she had a single umbilical artery, which restricts growth (once she was out, she exploded into the 90-95th percentile). It's more that...I'm so massively triggered by this in ways that have almost absolutely nothing to do with the testing (other than hating people doing things to my body) or the results. And I don't know how to make all this rage about unrelated things stop manifesting here.
The thing that makes me angriest, is they used a cutoff 10 points lower than the one I've read about everywhere...and if that cutoff was used, I was over by literally two points (or 1%), after having a full bowl of cereal for breakfast. Even if they use the lower cut off, it's still 1.1% over.
I can't decide whether I can ask them for a redo or not. I don't want to reveal how triggered I am about this, but on the other hand, I literally have been ***EATING TRIGGERS*** incapable of forcing myself to eat, which I've been having to do for half my meals lately, because I just have no appetite about half the time. I don't have an ED or anything. But, when I try to say, "OK, I need to eat now," and make myself do it, I have an anxiety attack and want to start crying.
