BLOOD TESTS
My mother has had diabetes since I was in middle school, and despite the fact that I exercise regularly and eat healthy, she is always worried that I am going to develop diabetes as well. Once in a while she will give me a blood glucose test that measures the glucose levels in my blood. Sometimes it will be a fasting test, and others she will do it after I have eaten a meal. They always come out normal, but she worries about me nonetheless. I guess that is something that comes with the job of being a mother. She has been like that my whole life. Always worrying about my brother and I much more than she has to. When I was growing up, if I did something bad I always told her first, because I knew she either would not tell my father, or at least she would not yell at me as much. If I ever did poorly in a class in college, or something happened that I would need to drop the class, she always understood. I think she was a very similar student when she was in college, so she sympathized with me. Sometimes she is too overprotective, but I still love her no matter what.
