You're too sweet!

This is what my husband said to me when I told him that I failed my 1 hour glucose test. What optimism! I spent this morning in the lab at my clinic drinking a very sweet glucose drink and waiting an hour to have my blood drawn. After an hour your natural insulin should bring your blood sugar level down below 140. Mine was at 148. 9 little points separate me from someone who passes the test. Apparently there is a pretty high false positive rate for this one hour test so I am off to do the three hour next week. So, next Thursday I will show up at the clinic having fasted from midnight the night before. I will get one initial blood draw, drink the sugary drink again, and then have three more draws one hour apart. I don't get to eat until I am done with the fourth draw. Baby is NOT going to be happy about that!
