This morning, I finally made it to the lab to go take the three hour glucose tolerance test. I can't believe that I actually made it. I had to lay down the whole time except for when I had to get the blood drawn, but I did it! I have a feeling that the lab possibly might have made a mistake and administered the higher dose of glucose for the first test I had!
The results were extremely high, from what they said my sugar level was over 120! That has never happened before! I know that every pregnancy is different, but all the other glucose tests for the previous pregnancies have been under 93! The lab technician said that if I was given the higher dose then that would explain why my sugar count was so high!
Ladies, my advice from this experience is to ask as many questions as possible about every test that you have to take. It is your body and your right. Trust me you don't want to have to redo any tests due to someone else's error. Not fun!
