Hmmm...just found out seconds ago, it's the anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster but just before it I watch Chernobyl diaries. This morning I took a Nuclear stress test, where they inject a small dose of radiation into your body. This is all freaking me out.

I didn't throw up. Last one I had I threw up right after they injected me. I hate it when they say don't eat for 6-8 hours. My sugar level always goes high.

why high? seems you go low, or do you skip the fast acting.

Nuclear stress test? Is this party of your treatment?

Since I can't eat or drink, I have to make sure my sugars don't go low so I skip my insulin dose.

its a heart check. you get fired up with a contrast, iodine the norm, they stress the heart and look for anomalies, restrictions and the such.

It's for my heart. I was taking blood pressure meds that slowed my heart. The heart doctor wants to check it out.

I agree with this.
