Well, I got the call yesterday that my sugar level was 156 and it needs to be around 135. Unfortunately, this means they are sending me to a lab where I will have to take a three and a half to four hour glucose screening test. This will officially determine if I have gestational diabetes. I'm really not looking forward to being poked anymore than I already have. On top of this, I will have to fast for 12 hours before my test (try telling a pregnant lady she can't eat) and I will have to watch my diet for the next week until I can go in for the screening. Which means no foods that are high in carbs or sugars (yay....).
My test is a week from today so Thursday July 8th. At least they're letting me come in early so I can get it over with and go eat afterwards! I'm trying to stay positive that every thing will be fine and crossing my fingers that I don't have gestational diabetes! I know that having it during pregnancy is somewhat common now and not a big deal but it's something that I would prefer not to have to worry about :) At least I don't have to drink that nasty juice again :) :)
