I went for my three hour glucose test this week. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't a pleasant experience. I fasted from the night before and didn't have my appointment until 11am the next day. Needless to say me and baby were staring!!! When I arrived they took a fasting blood sample then I drank 100 fl. oz. of this sugary substance that tasted like fruit punch. From there on I had a blood sample taken every hour for three hours. By the 4th sample of blood, I was dehydrated and starving. The lady had a hard time getting my blood to come out so there was a lot of flicking the vile. Ugh!! That was not fun! I finally left the lab around 2:00 and drove straight to WAWA and had the most delicious chicken salad sandwich. The next day I heard back from the doctor. My test showed that everything was good and I was in the clear. NO DIABETES!!! Thank the Lord! Now I am ready to stuff my face on Thanksgiving!!! Gobble! Gobble!
