My glucose tolerance test was this morning and I have to say compared to the last time I had to take it...it is much better than it was then. Still not the most pleasant of experiences but they have improved the process. When I was pregnant with Tessa you had to drink a thick syrupy concoction which kind of tasted like thick, flat Coke. It was really quite gross. This one was like super sweet flat Sprite and was the consistency of water. So, all in all not too bad. I had not eaten since last night so I was doing great on the fasting part. By the time it was over though I was feeling a bit dizzy and lightheaded but that passed soon enough. I brought my crosstitch with me so I wasn't monumentally bored waiting the hour for the blood test. Hopefully...*fingers crossed* I will pass this and won't have to go back for the 3 hour test.
