34+1 - Glucose tolerance test

Went to the midwife yesterday and I did have glucose in my urine again, so I'm off to the hospital next Wednesday for a glucose tolerance test. I have to not eat or drink anything before the test (which is at 2.15 so all day!), not even a swig of water or a bit of chewing gum. I am going to be a nightmare.

Apparently I have to then drink a controlled amount of lucozade, they take my blood before and after 3 hours to find out how my body is processing the sugars. Then on either Thursday or Friday they'll let me know the results, and if I have gestational diabetes. Woop woop.

With love and light xo

  5. How did it go? It is quite hard not eating and can be boring waiting around with your bottle of lucozade. x
