Bumb Day Monday







Today we started the Abate Trial. I had to go tot he research center at 8 a.m. No food until after lunch time. I had to drink a "boost" drink that was about 1/2 carbs and 1/2 protein and fat. The reason the do that is to get a idea how high my blood sugar goes without treating it with insulin. Next year when I come up again, they will do it again, if my blood sugar is about the same in a year after the test, than this drug works!




The shake was strawberry flavored but it didn't real taste that good. They said it would be delicious but I didn't realize they were being sarcastic until I actually tasted it.




They taking blood every 30 minutes and getting lab results back. I had to have an IV.




We will start the drug after lunch.




Hope everyone is a doing good and I would love to hear from you




Adam

  3. Jenna the shake tasted pretty bland. It was supposed to be stawberry...but it wasn't good strawberry. But it wasn't awful or gross...just not the best, if I had a choice I wouldn't have it again.
