I burned my potstickers
I forgot to turn the heat down from high to medium so 8 min later I go to look at them and they were smoking. luckily they were still pretty much palatable despite half of them being charred on the bottom. but yeah that was quite disappointing and now I'm not hungry anymore yet strangely unfulfilled
If they haven't explicitly told you that it is a fasted test then it is unlikely needed. When someone is suspected of being iron deficient, scientists often aren't testing your sample directly for iron. Iron isn't considered a very good marker to test for because it fluctuates so rapidly. So instead we will use a blood protein called ferritin as a marker because it is a more stable and reliable way of testing for iron deficiency. This is because iron is stored inside of ferritin, so if you have low ferritin then we are able to conclude from that that you also have low iron levels.have my blood test tomorrow, and i'm dreading it. the last time i had a blood test, i almost passed out on my way through the waiting room afterwards and felt so nauseous/ill i had to sit in the GP toilets for several minutes. my mom said it was because i didn't eat anything beforehand, but this is (and so was that one) supposed to test my iron levels, so i'm not supposed to eat for 12 hours beforehand. (not that my doctor ever said that, so. good thing i googled it.) i'm worried i'm going to have the same reaction again, which is largely why i'm taking my sister for support this time instead of my mom, but even so, i have emetophobia so feeling nauseous is really distressing.
