The Stitch

I flunked my glucose test. I did the same thing when I took the first glucose test while pregnant with Elizabeth. I took the one-hour glocose test, marginally failed it, and had to do the every-hour, for half a day blood draws. I passed all of them the last time, so let's hope I do the same this time.

I followed all the pre-testing rules to the letter. After failing the glucose test during Elizabeth's pregnancy, I didn't want to have to go through the secondary test unless there was a problem. I ate no sugars or carbs for 24 hours before the test (in fact, my diet this time around has been pretty good in an attempt to avoid, if possible, all of the problems I had last time around), and I fasted the morning of the test. The blood was drawn exactly on the hour.

If my glose levels are off, I'll gladly take the second one to make sure we can treat any potential problems as soon as possible. But let's hope that I pass it, just like I did last time. :-) I'd rather err on the side of caution.
