I'm about to find out.
I just got back from having the diabetes test done with my best friend. It was surprisingly non-interminable, though having a friend with you to pass the time surely helps with that. We were there for about 2-1/2 hours. Blood is taken once, then you drink a bottle of sugar water, wait an hour, take more blood, wait a second hour, then take more blood. Then you are free to proceed directly to the nearest Hungry Jack's for breakfast.
I don't feel like I have diabetes, though you never can really tell, I guess. It's probably not like Colitis where it's relatively easy to tell: do I have an intestinal cramp? Am I doing diarhoea right now? Then yes, quite probably. I'm going to try hard not to think about it until I get the results. There may not be anything to worry about.
Meanwhile, I've been very involved with the Fluent Self community and I love it! It opened about a month ago, and it's really starting to feel like the regulars are forming a community: sharing their guts out, writing encouraging comments on everyone else's posts, etc. I haven't written any really in-depth, soul-searching type posts yet, and sometimes I wonder if I'm going about things the 'wrong' way. But there is no wrong way! And besides, I'm also doing the Path of Colouring course, and I've had a few zingers come out of that. Perhaps once that's over, I'll do a proper Rally day and really dig up those monsters and give them a good talking to. I'm just not really feeling the need to do it right now. There's no point in forcing myself, right?
