Had my Glucose test today

[davidpizzica]

Well I had my Gestational Diabetes test today.... the drink really wasn't that bad.

I thought it was going to be a thick syrupy drink but it wasn't that bad. It was slightly carbonated.... I even accidently burped while talking to the nurse lol. It had an orangey flavor to it. But it looked like water so I didn't realize it was THE drink.... I thought I had to drink a glass of water or something first so I was very surprised when I took the first sip lol.

then they took my blood.... I have had more blood drawn since I have been pregnant than I think I have in my whole life combined lol. But if there is anything to report I should hear back by next week or early the week after.... otherwise I won't hear anything until my next OB appt on July 2nd.

so to all those that haven't had the glucose test.... the drink really isn't that bad.

You're right, it isn't really that bad. I had the orange pop version. I liked the taste, too. That's how I found out I was a borderline diabetic.

It surprised me at first because it looked like water lol and they didn't say it was THE drink.... they just plopped it down in front of me so I thought maybe I had to drink a glass of water before the actual drink. Then i took a sip and was very surprised to taste orange lol. but it was actually pretty good.... I hope it is the same drink this time
