Glucose Tolerance Test

The Glucose Tolerance Test is probably the most dreaded test during the 9 months a mom-to-be can go through. You fast for 8 hours, drink this horrible tasting flat sugary syrup, wait and hour and then the lab steals your blood. It's truly terrible. Well, I took mine Tuesday morning. Thank goodness there are now options of flavors: orange, fruit punch and grape. I chose fruit punch. Unfortunately my results came back a 154. Too high for my Dr.'s approval and now I need to re-take it next Monday. However, they are upping the ante. I now need to do the 3 hour glucose tolerance test, not the 1 hour one I did on Tuesday. Bummer. That means my entire Monday morning is now shot. Not really the best way to spend a Monday morning. I can think of a ton of other things: work, laundry, grocery shopping, errand running, sleeping, etc. Once this is all over I will have my next Dr.'s appt on October 25th and get the final results.We will know then whether or not I am having a bout of gestational diabetes with Sophia. It will also give us a chance to sit and talk to the Dr. in more detail about my cancer, thoughts, game plan, follow ups, etc. (Sigh) Only time will tell and unfortunately if you know me well, patience is definately not one of my more honed virtues.
