Pregnant Glucose Sugar blood test

hi mummies! does anyone encounter this?? a nurse took my 2ND Glucose blood test on that spot.,it really painful!! to me is not accurate and i'm not happy with it. as u can see my 1st fasting glucose blood test the nurse took it correct on the middle spot on my left arm. all my life., this is the 1st time i saw a nurse taking a blood test this way. instead of taking the right arm fr the 2nd blood test she just squeeze in the veins and just poke it. should i REDO my glucose test results??😡#pleasehelp #advicepls #pregnancy

There's no "correct" place as there are multiple veins and the nurse cannot poke same spot/vein repeatedly. Nurse every day also draw blood, so are well trained and professional in it. If can draw blood, then the results will be accurate. No need to redo the test unless u vomit.

thkz u fr yur answer.

I got mine there too. For both pregnancy. Cos they can’t poke at the same area multiple times. And will eventually run out of veins. Understand that it’s more painful on that part but I just bear with it 😅

yup2..,actually 2nd blood test they cn took frm my right arm then last blood test on the left again.,

Took there likely because they can't draw blood from the same spot, it is accurate since it is still your blood. Doesn't make a difference where they draw from as long as direct from vein

If you pass your test alr then no need to put yourself through the pain of being poked again
