If you have never had the pleasure of experiencing Glucola, please. Let me describe it for you. It is a sugary, sugary drink intended to spike your blood sugar. I mean, while drinking it you begin to feel the sugar high, and you have to drink at least 8 ounces in less than five minutes. Nora was bouncing around within the first few sips. The fruit punch variety, which I had the pleasure of enjoying today, tastes like they let a first grader mix Kool-Aid... as in, they didn't add enough water to the solution.
Delish.
Anyway, the verdict is that I don't tolerate glucose. In other words, I'm fairly positive I have gestational diabetes (again)...but to be sure, I'll go back for the three-hour glucose tolerance test in the next week. (This, by the way, means that I get to enjoy double the Glucola in the same amount of time. Whee!)
Let's just say I have extra-sweet little girls! (The littlest one is growing beautifully; I got to see her "drinking" on the ultrasound today! Perhaps she was drinking in a little extra sugar?)
And speaking of my sweet bigger girl...
That's all for now!

Oh no! I haven't heard of this test. It sounds so disgusting. While I've not been sick in general, I have absolutely no tolerance for things I don't enjoy. In fact, I'm getting nauseous here thinking about it.
So, what is the procedure if you have gest. diabetes? Medications? Diet modifications?
i could feel my heart rate going up just reading about the glucola. blah.
