The bloody fun time!!!

So let me give you some back round on what I am doing. My mom has type one diabetes and she heard about this research study about 2 years ago. So Spencer and I went in to see if we had any of the 2 types of antibodies that could develop into type one. Spencer's test came back as no sign for either but they found one in my blood stream. Now I go in every 6 months and they do a glucose tolerance test to see if my blood sugar gets high or low (that is the same thing they do when you are pregnant to see if you have gestational diabetes). 
               here is me being a chicken while they are taking some blood. (i reeeeeally don't like to watch) 

More blood!! (~:

here is me with the IV in, waiting for the next test(i get tested every half an hour 4times)
IV up close 

IV up close from the other angle

and here is the IV from my view

And here is at the end of the test where i got the IV out and got an awesome purple band-aid.
OH ya baby!!

Is your glucose test stuff a good flavor? Mine was orange last time, and I haven't had one yet this time. I liked the orange, it tasted like orange soda kinda which is one of the best sodas ever :)
PS you should warn us that there were going to be GORY pictures! :)
