I hate 3 hour Glucola tests.




So, I flunked my 1 hour gestational diabetes test. On Wednesday I take the three hour test....flunking this test will give me an official dx. (Although the nurse told me I can flunk 1 hour, pass 2 and still PASS!) Basically Wednesday morning involves a 10 hour fast, numerous blood draws, and 3 delicious Glucola drinks. Glucola is like extreme Kool Aid - the first sip isn't so bad, but it's terrible to drink the whole bottle (which you have to do in 5 minutes BTW, no stalling).
I read Angelina Jolie had GD with her twins. Having multiples automatically puts you at a higher risk for all pregnancy complications, including GD. I am already sort of eating like I have the dx already, its rough. I wanted a coke so bad today.
