Last friday I had to take a glucose test because diabetes runs in my family. I got a call this monday that my results were high :( I needed to come back the following tuesday to do the 3-hour glucose testing.
This time I needed to fast for 10-12 hours, they would draw my blood, drink another concoction with a higher dosage of glucose, and then every hour after that for 3 hours, they would draw more blood. It was horrible. How dare they starve a pregnant woman! I came into the laboratory first thing in the morning and I was already feeling sick. The drink made it worse. I wanted to collapse because I was so nauseous and dizzy.
BUT I got the great news a few minutes ago that I do not have gestational diabetes! Yay! *has happy feet* To be on the safe side, I do have to watch what I eat and meet up with a registered dietician every monday so my sugar levels will remain normal. Thank goodness everything is well though!
