I had my 1-hour glucose tolerance test last Friday. I was lucky that my doctor's office gave me the bottle and told me to drink it at home and then show up at the lab 45 minutes later to have my blood drawn at the 1-hour mark. I hear others have to actually sit at the lab for the whole hour. Yet another reason why I love my doctor's office. I was just glad that I didn't have to take more sick leave since I was able to drink, get tested and still be at work by 9:00.
I was actually a little concerned about failing the test because I've always been a little suspicious about my blood sugar. Maybe because of the good luck I've had with low carb dieting, which is essentially a diabetic diet. I've also had a completely unfounded premonition that I'd have gestational diabetes.
But, I got the results back today-- my blood sugar and iron numbers were both "excellent!" according to the nurse I spoke with.
Excellent!
