I'm very happy to report back that I tested negative for Gestational Diabetes! My Mom and I spent our Saturday morning at the Nebraska Lab Inc and I had to get my blood drawn 4 times, drink a horrendous sugar drink, go through what I call "sugar shock" from fasting the night before and drinking 100 g of sugar in less than 5 minutes, but the good news is now we know that I'm not at risk for GD.
I honestly think that I probably failed the test the first time because I had just eaten a large, iced w/ sprinkles sugar cookie and drank a caffeine free Root Beer before drinking the sugar drink and getting my blood drawn. Make sure not to do that before you have to get tested for GD!!
I will continue to eat a more healthy diet and not go back to my sugar indulging ways... but I am very happy to know that I can enjoy a piece of cake at my baby shower and some pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving! Phew... What a relief!!
