Glucose testing?!

          I went for my 1hr glucose test last Thursday. I failed with a 191!!! You are suppose to be under 135.
For a little background they poked me twice to get that vial of blood.

         Flip to today, I am taking my 3 hour test and here is a little bit of a rundown.
9:35am - poked 2 times (1 in each arm) to get 1 vial of blood
9:45am - finish that nast drink of 100mg (double from the 1 hour)
10:15am - poked 3 times (once in the left twice in the right) to get 1 vial of blood
11:20am - 5 minutes late *tisk tisk* had a guy nurse try and he used 2 tourniquets and only had to poke me once for one vial of blood! :)
12:15pm - poked twice (once in each arm) first time all day that my left has been a winner! Lol. For 1 vial of blood.
1:15pm - poked once for a vial of blood thank goodness!

Ontop of being poked and proded, I felt so sick the whole time. It took everything in my power NOT to throw up. :(



           I had the worst experiance ever and hope to never do that again. :(. Also why do they call it a three hour test when it is really a four hour test?

           If you took it, what was your experiance like?
