4 long weeks have passed, here comes my appointment with Dr Su again. I remembered that she told me I will be given Glucose test during this appointment, I was quite stress about this test due to family history and my sweet tooth. Therefore a day before the appointment, I did some research online to find out the procedures of this glucose test.
For preparation of this test, patient has to fast for 12 hours before the test and procedure will takes about 2 hours therefore doctors will normally scheduled this test early morning because no food is allowed before and during the test. But my given appointment is at 11am and nobody had mentioned/informed me about fasting before the appointment, this makes me wonder if they had make a mistake so I decide call up NUH to check whether I will be taking the test tomorrow or not. The appointment line admin staff have no records of what test I be doing for this appointment, therefore she arrange a call back by the clinic nurse to advise me on this.
I received a call back from nurse in about 2 hours, she ask me to come early at 8.30am for the OGTT and I need to start fasting from tonight 12am onward. I questioned her if they had made a miss out my test, she apologies and admit that the nurse who schedule my appointment date could have overlook on this. I told her the main reason that I change from subsidies clinic to private is to avoid such things to happen as I don't feel comfortable to see different doctors. While this OGTT must be done within week 24 -28, I could have miss it if I did not take the initiative to check with them myself. It is rather disappointing as I have not seen any improvements nor benefits for converting to private clinic other than paying more :(
