Well today was the day I had to get my glucose tested for gestational diabetes. I went to the doctors office at 8 am. I was anxiously awaiting the drink that they give you.....I have heard that it is horrible. I guess I was expecting the worst but it was not awful, it was not great but not the worst thing ever. After I drank the drink I had to wait an hour before they drew blood to test for gestational diabetes. While I was waiting I saw the doctor, she listened to our little girls heart beat, which was 140. When the hour was up they drew my blood and then I was done. They said they would call sometime today to let me know the results of the test. I scheduled my next appt for Oct. 28th.
The doctor's office called me at 11am to tell me that I had failed the test. The max level is 130 and my glucose level was at 149. So, I have to go back to the doctors office tomorrow for a 4 hour test. I have to drink the same drink again but this time, they will draw my blood 4 times. If I fail the test tomorrow, they will treat me for gestational diabetes.
Stay tuned to see how the test tomorrow goes.
