3 Hour Glucose Test

Well, my 1 hour glucose test was a tiny bit high last week and since my grandpap has Diabetes, my medical provider thought it would be a good idea to have a 3 hour fasting glucose test.

I was SOOO not looking forward to it. Fortunately, Tommy was off work today, so he kinda did it with me! (Sans blood draws and having to drink a whole bottle of that nasty stuff!!) He did taste it, although, you just don't get the same nauseous feeling from a small swig of glucose mix.

Oh, and the only flavor they had was lemon lime. Blech.

So my fasting blood level was on the high side (95) but the cookies and ice cream I ate late last night could account for that... hmmm...

Long story short... and 4 pokes later, I can go online to get my results and I officially do NOT have gestational diabetes!! Thank you GOD!!

Fasting Pre-sample - 95
1 hour post - 171 (high is over 180)
2 hours post - 136 (high is over 155)
3 hours post - 114 (high is over 140)

I'm so glad that whole thing is over with!

And for lunch, Tommy took me to Jack in the Box for an ultimate cheeseburger and a Dr. Pepper. (I needed some dairy and Iron!!) I think he is the best hubby ever.

NOW, to take care of that anemia issue...
