On Tuesday, I had to go for a follow-up test to see whether I have gestational diabetes or not. This involved fasting for 12 hours, getting blood drawn, chugging that horrible glucose drink in 5 minutes and then getting blood drawn every hour for three hours past that. Fifteen hours of fasting. So of course I couldn't keep the damn glucose drink down and yacked it up a half hour after I drank it. If you ask me to chug water after not eating for twelve hours you'll get the same result.
So went back to my doctor on Wednesday, he suggested we try this again because it's important, and prescribed an anti-nausia pill for me to take before I did the test. Went today, and it worked out fine. The only issue was that I was so damn hungry, and by the time I got to eat lunch I was past feeling hungry and could only eat a small amount of that. Well, that and the damn cat was walking all over me all night because he was bored...so I was short on sleep. FUN DAY. But hey I got the test done, and hopefully my blood sugar will be fine and I won't have to switch up my diet.
