So, I realize how this will sound...
I went to my local walk in clinic with lab to go for my glucose test and walked out before I was tested.
She told me I couldn't leave after the test, so I left before. In all honesty my back and hips can't handle an hour in the waiting room chairs. My back hurts almost no matter what but if I can't move my position, lye down, put my feet up or something it's agony.
I'm sure this sounds like excuses excuses but after all the aching I've been having the last week or two in the most comfortable situations like at home on the couch or in bed no part of me wants to sit in a waiting room chair.
I've even told hubby we can't go to anymore movies after I attempted fifty shades last weekend and spent the whole time hurting. Those chairs are heavily padded and recline for Pete's sake! (we go to movies a lot, it's our thing )
Anyone else forgo this test? After reading up a bit I'm on the fence about trying to suck it up another time. Yes I'm considered obese and there is diabetes on my dad's side somewhere (most of his side has passed and who is left does not have it, nor do they live here or converse with us to ask where the diabetes are and my dad has dementia so there's not much pin pointing available.) but that's it. No big babies no advanced age no previous history with it.
I'm struggling with the whole better safe then sorry thing :/ which I realize will be the consensus, but I know there's gals out there who do no testing so I can't be the only one opting out of at least 1 test.
