Oh! OH!
(The answer to all of these is, “why, it’s MC!”)
Guess who flunked her 1-hour glucose tolerance test?
Guess who has to schedule her 3-hour glucose tolerance test this week?
Guess who just got put on Prednisone, a drug known for raising your blood sugars?
Guess who is going to flunk her 3-hour glucose tolerance test this week?
Guess who is going to just going to ask her OB if she can start the gestational diabetes protocol instead of taking that awful test?
Guess who is going to be put on a ADA-approved diet?
Guess who can’t stand meat or tolerate dairy and is not allowed to eat nuts or raw vegetables (bad for colitis)?

Not fair is right. I am so sorry that you have to endure all of this. I hope that she-beastie arrives just a wee bit early so you can leave the pregnancy stuff behind and get on with just enjoying momma-hood.

Oh, dear… That sounds relentlessly grim. But it does seem like the best plan to just skip the test and go straight to the treatment. (I just hope that there’s something tolerable and palatable to eat in there somewhere…)
