Doing my glucose test today... but my appointment isn't until 2:30 this afternoon. Now I'm all nervous about what I should or should not eat all day. Everyone keeps telling me the more protein, the better, or to fast, but I want the results to be accurate....
My goodness! Make sure you drink extra water this week. And even some juice to get that blood flowing! I heard the orange tastes like orange crush without the carbonation :) I got the fruit punch though, and it was alright. Just super sweet! Lol
okay, the drink and stuff was not bad at all... which I guess is good, cause I have to try again next week. the stupid tech's couldn't get any blood out of me!! they tried for over 30 minutes, and I do NOT do well with needles!! @baby_lillis @raethack
ok, I'm at the ob, just got the drink and it's actually kind of good!! tastes exactly like orange soda, just no carbination. @baby_lillis @raethack
I was a little nervous about the results. The test isn't horrible. Try getting fruit punch or the orange flavored one. Those are the best. The worst part is waiting for the results, the rest is a breeze. Bananas are known to raise blood sugar levels and I wasn't aware of that at the time of my test and my preglucose reading was 87 even after the banana. Lol. I would probably just snack on some kind of fruit before hand. Too much can cause inaccurate readings and can make you fail which means you'll have an even longer, in depth testing to do. Good luck! I promise it's not bad! :)
@maybabyboy, omg girl I would be too... hell I'm nervous now and I ain't even doing it yet😂😂😂
@maybabyboy, yea that's true... girl I would be in starve mode if I couldn't eat 😂😂😂😂tell me how it was because I'm curious about this test
I feel like that would be a lot of sugar... I know they're going to give me a ton of sugar in that drink, I don't want to overload beforehand. My OB had just told me to not eat for an hour before the test, and not have anything TOO sweet for most of the day. But so much stuff has SO MUCH sugar in it, even breads and pasta.
I know, my OBs nurse said I just need to drink tons of extra water for a few days and come back any day next week to try again. I'm gonna try to come in the morning next time, maybe that will make it easier.
