| glucola drank // lemon lime |
The dreaded glucose test has come and gone! I understand that this test helps detect gestational diabetes but I find it so funny that it's okay for pregnant bodies to consume this!
I had a hard time sleeping the night before deciding whether or not I was going to consume the glucola the next day. I was given this drink to take home and drink it anytime after the 16th, so it was really up to me! It's not that I was scared how it would taste or worried about what my results might end up being, but it was the process on a strict time frame that had me all ruffled.
I was not allowed to fast. Have any sugar with my meals beforehand. I would have to wait 2 hours after a meal to take the drink. I needed to test exactly 1 hour after I consumed the drink and needed to be in the office 40 minutes after I finished 'drinking' the damn drink, all while NOT falling in between the time frame from 10:30-3:30. Wut?
Can you see why that had my mind up and running? I managed to time everything out effortlessly and I was in and out of the patient room within minutes. They gave my finger a tiny prick and voila, my results were confirmed passing!
