Nurse Kim called this morning to let me know that I failed the one-hour glucose test - again! I can't believe it! I did not have any breakfast this go-round, which probably caused the poor results. My sugar was 27 points too high. This is really amazing to me because my sugar is usually so low. What we think happened is that drinking the orange syrup on an empty stomach made the sugar levels shoot up, instead of giving an accurate description of how my body handles sugar.
So, Nurse Kim said that I will have to take another 3-hour glucose test, which I should have taken in the first place but the other nurse put the wrong order through. I was pretty upset, seeing as how the last test was so hard. I just can't look forward to 3-hours of needles and not feeling well. Kim said that she would confer with Dr. Bain about what other options there are and call me back next week.
In the meantime, it's watch out for sugar and carbs. Not good news, so close to the holiday. But, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone else!
