glucose tolerance test
I just had my glucose test last week, at the request of my surgeons office I did not drink the sugary liquid. My OB had me eat 28 jelly beans and then 1 hour later they drew blood and ran my sugar test. The gal in the lab said that normally RNY patients drink 1/2 of the liquid solution and then test, but I am so glad my Dr. took the advice of my surgeon.
My dr did an early glucose test by testing my HA1C count in my blood work at 16 weeks. I retested again at 28 weeks and had no problems what so ever. I went to bed with nothing to eat after midnight that night and had the first appointment in the morning, so I didn't have to fast long. Others have mentioned doing fingers sticks for a few days and reocrding the numbers at home.
