I am a huge baby about blood tests. My anxiety floods my system. Today I decided screw it, bite the bullet and get it done!! So I went in, still anxious, and asked to lie down, had a good nurse. Before I left the house my level was 5.2. I went and did the test, the nurse/blood person was amazing, she made me laugh, and even though I was jittery I was ok. No fainting, lol.
Came back home and checked and it was 106 followed by 2 or 3 102's.
Why is my # higher after my blood drawn?
How much does anxiety play a role in the #'s, especially in non-diabetics?
Reason I ask is last time I went for a test my fasting # was 115 (I was soooo anxious) but my A1C was 5.0 (31?) which my doc said was perfect.
Somehow I can't convince my doctor that my anxiety is hindering me, he won't prescribe anything or do anything for me.
