GD test results & silly conversation

[sonsah]

I just had a silly conversation with the Nurse at my OBGYN's office I have to share. I called in to get my Gestational Diabetes results and she said she'd call me back since they haven't come in yet. So she called me back

Damn! I had to do my gestational diabetes test until like 28 weeks, which I think is when most people do it. You are getting everything done now!

I am at high risk because my mom is diabetic and I am overweight. The combination makes my doc take precautions.

Yeah, they were really sure I was diabetic but I was not. It was actually funny. The first time I got it done, (yes, had to do it twice( I got really sick feeling because I still had morning sickness at 28 weeks. I ended up throwing up what they gave me to drink and then some. I was actually admitted into the ob ward as a safety precaution and they had to give me fluids in my IV. It screwed the results up totally. So when the nurse first called me she said to cut sugar out of my diet that my results were abnormal and to cut all sugar out and they would test me again in a week. I was so ill that week, I felt horrible. I went in and did another GD test and when I went to see the doctor she was horrified at my low sugar levels. She said "you aren't diabetic at all, you have very low blood sugar, eat as much as you want!!" I did and instantly felt so much better!!
