So I’d be lying if I said I was not nervous about failing my first glucose test. The 3 hour test was not fun either. Sitting around for 3 hours to get poked for blood in uncomfortable chairs while hungry was not pleasant. It definitely did not help knowing that I have really small veins and its a struggle to get one good poke every few weeks let alone 4 in one day. Fortunately the lab tech was used to me and understood my situation. It only took 6 pokes for 4 draws. I think that pretty good considering in the past it was 3 pokes for just one draw.
On the good side, the results were delivered today and I passed!!!! Woohoo! No extra special diet for me. Although the doc did say I should still not go overboard and continue to work out. I guess I won’t be able to get Brian to drop me off at the front door of the building everyday at work. Boooo!
Feeling really fortunate that symptoms are not too bad and we’ve been passing all the tests the OB is tossing our way. Time at the end is really flying by. Having friends in town, classes and events has really helped us not sit and just count the days.
