Glucose Tolerance Test

My glucose tolerance test came around quickly. I had to fast from 8pm last night until my test finished around 10.45 this morning.
The nurse took my blood then made me drink what tasted like liquid sugar then asked me to wait in the waiting room for two hours until she next took my blood. I asked why wait so long. Its to make sure you just sit and don't do any exercise or work off the glucose while you are working.
Sitting in a doctors surgery for two hours isn't much fun. coughs colds, splutters moans and groans. I wonder if she knew about my compromised immune system. You get some funny looks as people go in and out of the surgery and your name isn't being called out.
All I have to do now is wait for the results. Another week of waiting for results.

Another Hurdle

I am still going to the gym. my stamina is still increasing. However, my walking distance isn't bad but is still not great. my right leg and hip still aches and my right foot still scuffs when I walk, but progress is being made.
I saw my consultant today. He tells me that my bloods are picking up nicely. the platelets are OK, white and red cells are picking up. My Neutrophills are still low and I am still vulnerable to infections and should be careful. the good news is that my Paraprotien is still un-traceable so I have another clear month.
The hot flushes I have been suffering have been increasing and often have three or four in a day. I have experienced some bad ones that seem to take it out of me I have to sit for a while to recover. My care team have tested me and its definitely not to do with my Myeloma and suggested I talk to my GP.
The tests have been taken more blood believe it or not. i have had two sets of them and now I have to have another fasted Glucose Tolerance Test the GP tells me that I am in a pre-diabetic state. More tablets perhaps who knows but I am still smiling.
