Glucose test should be illegal 💁🏾

Lol I opted to get the glucometer and check my levels 4x a day for two weeks instead of doing the drink because I was scared I was gonna throw up 😂 worth it in my opinion

did you fail the 1 hour?

I almost passed out when pregnant with my son. I'm not pregnant with my daughter, and you know I'm going with the glucose monitor instead. I can't forgo eating.

I opted out lol I did it for my first but it wasnt a fast test, just the 1 hour test. This time around ive been alot more nauseous and i started drinking the drink on my way to my midwifes and 🤮🤮. My midwife wasnt concerned luckily but its crazy that theres not another way to figure out if you have GD than drinking these nasty sugary things lol

@Samantha that was an option ????!!!??

@Monae sure did with a score of 155

@Sarah there is another way! Just have to ask because they don’t make it the main option. I asked if there was anything else I could do because I was scared of puking and they ordered me a glucometer so I could test my sugar levels throughout the day for two weeks straight. Gives the same result, just takes a little longer

@Samantha oh thats awesome! I didnt know! Ive heard you can eat like chocolate bars or skittles of the same sugar content lol I would have been down for that 😂

Just went through this I was thinking the same thing. I had to ask if I could lay down between blood draws I felt so crazy I passed the retake thankfully

Make sure you treat yourself to some food after cause it definitely takes a lot out of you trying to do the 3 hr test

oh okay that’s why awww darn i was hoping i didn’t fail mine because i definitely wasn’t try to fast

You can opt out! I opted out and had to check my levels 4 times a day; I’ve had Bariatric surgery!

I’m sorry I’m confused as to why people are so against this test? It was a bummer for sure, and the sugary drink is bleh but it’s one day to figure out if you have a temporary condition that could pose health risks to your and your baby, especially if left undiagnosed. It was not an enjoyable experience but well worth it imo.

@Rachel yea i definitely wants gonna opt to be sticking myself no ma’am I ate healthy and just had oats and grains the morning of my 1 hour test and passed mine 85 cause baby im not with that being stuck everyday
