Thanks Dr. Q! Yep you would not have fun trying to get my blood. Even the professionals get a run for their money. LOL! Is there a way that they can just leave the needle in the vein like what they do for IV's and draw when they need to or is this an invitation for major infection?
Me Again...What can be done if anything
December 07, 2007
Okay so I have another question. I have to get fasting glucose done on Tuesday. I know this test takes a while and repeated needle sticks. I have VERY poor veins as in today when I had blood drawn it took 30 minutes to find a vein and only got half of what was needed. They always have to go in my hands b/c that's the only place that they can find a semi good vein. I usually have to be stuck at least twice to get one sample. Is there anything that can alleviate multiple sticks for the Glucose tolerance test? Please tell me there is hope.

There is very little that can be done, as much of this is genetic along with BMI... The best thing you can do though is consume lots and lots of water to get your plasma volume up to try and make things easier...
