i took a glucose tolerance test about 2 months ago... it came back too high... sooooooo i was told i had to take a 3 hour glucose test... well i made the appointment a couple of weeks ago... so for 3 days i was supposed to eat 4 donuts or pieces of cake... breakfast lunch dinner and a snack... well i got through the first day fine... the next day was hell, i could barely even look at a damn donut, then that night was even worse... i was eating dinner and bit into a piece of tomato and totally went into shock... apparently i had an exposed nerve on the tooth i needed a root canal on... i couldn't eat a fucking thing for three days (but made up for it nicely with smoothies)... of course this happens on a saturday night on memorial day weekend, so i was in fucking agony until tuesday... i went to the dentist and he pulled my tooth... talk about an experience i would rather not ever have again... soooooo i had to re-shedule my glucose test, because i couldn't finish my donut diet... so i started eating chocolate cake 4 times a day for 3 days (i couldn't stomach another donut)... well by the second morning i already hated chocolate cake with a passion... BUT, i finished the diet and went to take the test this morning and GUESS what happens... they give you this big bottle of orange syrup and tell you to drink it in five minutes... so i managed.... i guess that threw me over the egde cause five minutes after that i threw it all up... sooooooooo now i have to re-schedule it AGAIN!!! but i really need to call my doctor and see if there's any other diet she can put me on, cause if not, they can go screw their stupid glucose test... if i have gestational diabeties i guess i'll never know... so she might as well just put me on a diet as if i DO have it... i just can't go through that again... you really wouldn't think that 4 donuts or pieces of cake a day could possibly be that bad... actually i was excited the first time... but i really probably will never eat chocolate cake or donuts again... ick...
