I failed the test
Monday I had my glucose test. My doctor told me they would send my blood to the lab and call if anything came up. I am the most healthy pregnant person ever - I've never had a test come back askew. But it seems I've flunked this one.
So.....
My doctor is sending me a strict diet that I have to follow for 3-4 days and then I have to take a day off work so I can fast, do the glucose test again first thing one morning and then they take my blood once an hour for three hours. Yipee.
If I pass that test then all is well. If I don't, then I go back on some sort of diet and they watch me for gestational diabetes.
I'm almost certain that I got a false positive because my appt. on Monday was at 1:00 and I had just eaten lunch. Purposefully I didn't eat anything sweet but I'm sure it messed with my results anyways.

This is EXACTLY what happened to me with Katie. Do your best to do exactly what they say about the eating and I bet you'll do great! AND, take something to occupy your time because having to have your blood drawn every hour on the hour is SOOO BORING!
I hope all is well and you don't have to pay any more attention to this for the next several weeks :-)
