the results to my glucose test came back yesterday and they were a tiny bit high. the normal range is between 75 and 175. my number was 176. go figure! so, they want me to come in for their 3 hour test. i was a little alarmed at first because i thought i would ace the 1st test and that i didn't have anything to worry about. but, i am still not to worried..i feel great and i am generally pretty healthy. but, we will see after this test if i have gestational diabetes.
for the test i took last friday i had to drink the orange drink and get my blood drawn a hour later. this time i have to eat a high carb diet for the next 3 days and then fast after midnight on the third day. i then have to go in on friday (5/8) and drink the orange drink again. but, this time i will drink the orange drink and a hour later get my blood drawn... only to wait another hour to get more blood drawn and then 1 more hour after that to get my blood drawn a 3rd time. sounds like fun huh?! :) not really but, i guess that is just how it goes.
if 2 out of the 3 tests still come back high then i am diagnosed with gestational diabetes. they said it is easily controlled though with diet and that it will go away after ellee is born. so that is nice to know. i'm trying not to think about it because i am sure i am just fine. i will let you all know what the results are.
♥love yas!!!
