Today, I will go to my obstetrician’s office for the Glucose Challenge Test. Don’t you love how they make it sound like it just might be fun? It’s a challenge! Are you up for it?
Here, drink this disgusting liquid. Don’t throw up! Now, let’s poke you with needles. If you don’t pass the test, you’ll have to come back and drink the stuff again, but this time, we’ll poke you with needles every hour on the hour for an entire day. What can you win? Gestational Diabetes!
Who are they fooling, really? They should just call it the Glucose Torture Experiment.
So, what are you doing today?

You know, Stuff.
Ugh, not that.
I feel for you. You will survive.
((hugs))
Eew. Reminds me of when I was in a car crash and had to drink dye for a CAT scan. It was like drinking koolaid made with pool water. And I had to drink a loooot.
Good luck though and I hope you miss out on the diabetes.
Which is why I’ve opted out again on this one. This time I have to do a fasting then a 2-hours-after-eating blood sugar though… not sure how much better that is, but I a avoiding drinking the gunk.
so how did the test go?
