3- Hour Glucose Test Results

I passed! No Gestational Diabetes for me!!!

I got to the Lab at 7:45am on Friday. First I gave a urine sample, then lab tech pricked my finger to get the fasting blood sugar count. At 8:00am I was given the infamous orange Glucose drink and 5 minutes to finish it. It really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. It just tastes like a super sweet Sunkist.
I drank it with no problem because I was super thirsty.... I had not been able to eat after midnight, and I could only have small sips of water until the test was complete.
After that I went back every hour (to the minute) for 3 hours, to leave a urine sample and have my finger pricked.
After the final blood test, the lab tech took me and my results to my doctor's nurses. They gave me the results. Remember, they want to see your blood sugar under 140.

1st Hour: 184
2nd Hour: 134
3rd Hour: 111

The nurse informed me those numbers mean I don't have GD, but with that first number being high (very close to the result after my 1st Glucose test) I do have to continue to maintain my adjusted diet for the rest of the pregnancy.

• Little to No Sugar (artificial sweeteners ok).
  
• Carbohydrates should equal Protein.

I am totally OK with this plan. I will do whatever is best for my little Punkin! :-) Besides, it's only for ~10 weeks.

That's Right!!! Only 10 more weeks to go......
What's even crazier than that is next week I'll be counting down in the single digits!!!
