I passed!

Yay, I don't have gestational diabetes but that sure made me stressed out!!! Moving on, moving on!

Dreaded Phone Call

Well, I just received a most dreaded phone call. I had my 1st one hour glucose test on Monday and just received a call today that my blood sugar level was high. I now have to go in to do the 3 hour glucose test on Monday to see if I have gestational diabetes. I really, really, really, really, really hope I don't have it!

In all honesty, the main reason I hope I don't have it is not because of the changes that will need to occur immediately, but the chances that I develop Type 2 Diabetes in the future goes up. I am a girl who loves food and if I develop diabetes later in life, I will be sad to have to live such a restricted life in regards to food.

So, I don't know if it will help, but I am going to really restrict sugars and eat healthy for the next 4 days to see if it makes a difference on the test. Plus I will try and exercise every day except Sunday and see if it helps. However, I really limited sugar for 2 days before my first test and it was still high. I don't have super high hopes that this will really do much but I'm going to try.

Here's hoping.....
