why wy?

We had our blood sugar tested in the lab today and, funnily enough, Nicole and I had the lowest glucose levels despite having a full breakfast. We were actually supposed to fast before doing the tests. My reading was a measly 1.9, and the normal pre-meal level is around 4-8.  You should have seen the look the tutor gave me, it was a "good, god, why aren't you in a coma''' look. Funny stuff.

Then, I told him what I had for breakfast two hours before: Cup of tea, three slices of raisin toast and a pear. He just shook his head.
Nicole scored a low 2.3. Everyone else was in the 3-5 range, and these were the volunteers who hadn't eaten.

Then, we had to skull a sweet beverage. Mine tasted like honey water, only like honey that has fused with a plastic bottle for two years. Turned out to be fructose. Our sugar levels shot up when we tested 20 minutes later, but Nicole's chart really took off. Even the lecturer was amused. Apparently she's got a turbo-charged liver. My chart was like a roller-coaster, it started rising after a small dip.  Anyway we were all laughing after that class, not sure if it was just the effect of too much sugar. I felt sick later, like when you gorge yourself on chocolate cake. But I reckon it is better to feel sick after a good meal (decadent choc orange brandy cake for example) than a bad one, cos at least you would have enjoyed the meal.

We figured that it'll be more fun if we had brownies and hot chocolate instead of pee-coloured drinks. Then, the experiment would have real-life implications.
