Glucose Test or Drug Test?--you Decide

SO there I was talking with Russell about my upcoming Glucose test.... I was recounting my discussion with Katie a couple days ago.
Megan: Katie & I were talking about the glucose test & what you are & aren't supposed to eat the day of test.  Then this lady interrupted us and told us another trick--don't drink milk the night before or the day of the test.  Good to know we replied.  Katie then was telling me some other things to not eat in order to pass.
Russell: Geez Meg-you guys act like this is a drug test or something.  What can you do to avoid testing positive:)!!

I suppose it did sound like the preggs were conspiring on how to not test Positive for this drug we call Gestational Diabetes--which in the end is something that is not really our fault:)  But just like my friend Katie said, "I don't like failing anything."  My parents can relay numerous stories of me crying due to receiving a failing grade of a B+. 

Thursday-I'm hoping for Passing this Drug test-I mean Glucose test.  Bring on the jelly beans!

AAHH - the test. i am still awaiting the final results of my 3-hr monstrosity! you'll do fine. i hear the jelly beans are better anyway... yet, most people i have talked to failed the first time, so i just don't know.

Good Luck with the test! I know I struggled getting those jelly beans down and thought they would be better than the orange drink..Funny thing is about 6 beans in I got a call that group was canceled due to snow...All that for nothing. So for the 2nd attempt I decided to do the orange drink. YUK.. Neither a good choice, but I passed! Yeah! I didn't research into what to eat before, tried to do it earlier in the day so didn't have to worry too much. Have fun, good luck!
