I just phoned the lab and they said for the 3 hour glucose tolerance test, (unless the physician specified) they always use 100. And they don't know if the physician specified it. It would have to be on the prescription.

I told her to look at the last number 38. And she said "yes and if you notice we did call and leave a message on Dr. Goldfarb's answering machine

And sure enough, I looked at the lab test page (of January 23) and underneath the 38 it said: "Left message on answering machine to call back at 2:15 p.m.
Underneath that it read:n RESULTS CALLED TO AND READ BACK BY ZOYA DROBYAK (she's Dr. Goldfarb's assistant). at 9:20 a.m.

So we do know that today Alan took a 50 gram load.

If you think he's going to let me do this again tomorrow, forget it!!!

He's going to the spinal tap on Monday, then we'll go and see Dr. fred and he'll run whatever he wants to run.

Me???? I've got a headache from making all these phone calls and pricking fingers and looking at blood all morning.

Is there a tremendous difference between a 100 gram test and a 50 gram test?.

Should I make Alan re do this tomorrow morning (even if he wants to kill me?)
