A Diagnosis May Be Around The Corner For Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn had her oral glucose tolerance test yesterday.  Her fasting number was great - 88.  When they took the last blood draw at two hours, we asked for a meter reading. 222.  Anything over 200 is diabetes.  The number needs to first be confirmed by the lab.  We will hear on Monday.  Since the same meter was used for fasting & 2 hours, I don't expect it to be off enough to get us under 200.  However, the test has to be done twice to actually diagnose.  We can go to confirm the week after Christmas.  If it is >200 again, she will be diagnosed.

It's not like we didn't know it was coming.
We didn't even get an actual diagnosis.
She's not taking insulin or checking her blood sugar.
We know God is still in control.
I still feel like I've been punched in the stomach.
Please pray!
