I Actually Enjoyed My Glucose Test ?

Yummy Orange Soda Type Glucose Drink!

This morning I took my 27 almost 28 weeks glucose test to check for gestational diabetes. I must admit, I was dreading taking this test because of all of the bad stories I have heard from numerous pregnant women. However, now having taken the test I was pleasantly surprised by the not so bad, actually GOOD taste of the orange soda drink! I had not eaten any sugar in the past 4 or 5 days so, asking me to chug down something sweet in under 5 minutes?? So NOT a problem!!!

The worst part of the whole test was fasting from 10 pm the night before until almost 1 pm the next day. Other than that not so bad! :)

Chugging it down in less than 5 minutes

I won't know the results for a few more days. I was starving after the test and having a major craving for Del Taco ( I know, not so healthy) :(. I splurged at Del Taco and was a happy camper!!! Great experience today! :)
