This morning at 7:30, mom & I were at the Masonic Building for a glucose tolerance test. The glucose tolerance test is suppose to give them an idea of how good my islet cells are working so far. Before the test, they drew 8 tubes of blood for baseline labs. After this, I drank a can of chocolate Boost (nasty!) in 5 minutes. At intervals of 30 minutes, more blood was taken to measure my glucose. We continued this for 2 hours. We also agreed to participate in a study where the Dr.s take a sample of my pancreas tissue & use it in research.
Next, we walked next door to the Phillip Wangesteen Building to meet with Dr. Sutherland. I also met Dr. Huddleston who would be assisting him. We answers a few questions, filled out all the consents & were ready to go.
