Well, I'm at the clinic this morning for the next three hours because I failed my first glucose screening test. My blood sugar level was too high, so I needed to come back in for the three hour test. Good thing I discovered what the wireless access code was. I can watch some serious tv now on my iPad.
Last Wednesday I went in and drank the syrupy glucose juice and got my blood tested. My levels were high, so I had to come back in to redo it, only this time I was supposed to fast beforehand. I fasted all night while I slept...man, that's hard to do. Hehe...and this morning I had to come in at 7:40 to get my blood drawn, then drink the solution again. They'll test my blood every hour for the next three hours. Great! I'm positive the elevation from the first test was directly related to the two cookies I ate that day. I forgot that I had the test and that I had already eaten a cookie that morning with my coffee...so I'm pretty sure that would screw up any test, yeah? Anyway...I'm sure once this test is over and I eat something, this heartburn and slight nausea will go away. Nothing like drinking straight up sugary syrup right away in the morning to break the fast. Ugh.
Looking forward to seeing many of you next weekend!! So excited! Xo

I had to do that too Meggie, with Sam. I was only 2 points over the high end but they said I had to be tested anyway.....might have been the fully loaded Coca-Cola I drank on my way to the appointment! Oops! I passed the long test...but remember it was no fun!
