Just had my glucose test this morning and that was definitely NOT a fun experience. I feel like everyone I know warned me about how bad the drink was, but that was the easy part! The drink wasn’t bad at all, I drank it in like 2 minutes 🤷🏼‍♀️ but wow, it made me feel terrible!

So my dr asked for no food two hours prior to the test. My appointment was at 9 am and my last meal was last night around 10:30. Well the lack of food plus all that horrible sugar made me so sick! I almost passed out before the blood draw and I was SO close to throwing up. I had to lay down afterwards for a while. I feel much better after having had some food with protein, but I still feel like crap. My body has never handled fasting well or having a ton of sugar on an empty stomach (I used to pass out when I was a child if I ate too much sugar without any real food).

My concern is that since my body doesn’t handle sugar like that very well, and never has, I probably definitely failed the test. There’s no way on earth I could do the three hour test if I barely made it through the one hour one. I will for sure pass out if I have to do that again. Is there no better way to determine gestational diabetes!?
