So today's doctor...

weight = 138.5

gestational diabetes = possible...blood sugar count was 174 (140 is the high end of the range)

I might have screwed it up because I followed the directions...lol...

It said...eat a big breakfast 2 hours before drinking glucola. Drink glucola within 5 minutes. Go to have blood drawn exactly 1 hour after drinking glucola.

Nowhere in those directions do I see, "Don't eat anything during that two hour time span." Because of that, I ate and drank soda...so doctor said that might have caused the high number.

I'm hoping it is cuz I'm a wuss when it comes to needles and the idea of having to prick my finger 4 times a day does not appeal to me.

So because of the high count, I now have to be on a freakin diet on Christmas day so that I can get my blood drawn on Monday. The diet is pretty strict in terms of my intake of fruit and starch...so I'll be munching on lots of veggies and being grouchy. Then on Monday I have to fast, go in to the lab, and have my blood drawn three times...on the hour for 3 hours...that means I'll be starving the whole time...it won't be a pretty sight.

Grrrreat....just another difference between this pregnancy and the first one...
