Voi ällö!

A piece of advice: if only possible, try to avoid the infamous glucose tolerance test (in Finnish: sokerirasitustesti). That liquid is somewhat disgusting, especially after a twelve-hour fast including nothing but a glass of water in the morning. Cold water has rarely tasted so good.

Now I just have to wait for the results. Since I had an extensive bloowork done at the same time I have to wait till February even though the glucose test's results have been clear today already.

I'm just wondering why the doctor made me go to that test in the first place. I mean, most of the time the test is used to determine temporary diabetes on pregnant women. I should think I have made it quite clear to the doctor that I am not pregnant, nor have I noticed any symptoms indicating I could have diabetes. Hmm... maybe it's because my mother got diagnosed with diabetes while her stay at the hospital after the stroke. Ah, well; at least the bloody thing is done. Now I just have to wait for the results with my nails very recently polished black. I'm sure all the conservative teachers at the Polytechnic will be thrilled.. ;)
