Doctor appt

Sooo, I had another doctor's appointment on Tuesday, and it was quite interesting. I had to take a glucose test, which measures your blood sugar levels. I thought it was going to be no biggie. So, I get to the office and have to drink this really sweet orange liquid. Then, after an hour, I get my finger pricked and the glucose is measured in my blood. Apparently, your glucose level is supposed to be under 130.........well, mine was 143. So, not really knowing what that meant except that it was bad, I have a seat in the doctor's office to wait for him to explain the next step. He tells me that now, I have to do a 3 HOUR GLUCOSE TEST! And it's a fasting test! The doctor explained how my blood sugar was so high very simply: Basically, the baby likes sugar, alot. The baby is fighting to keep the sugar in my blood so he can use it, and at the same time, my body is trying to either store it or process it. Sometimes the baby wins, and in this case Donovan won. My body is not producing enough insulin to process the sugar so Mr Donovan is a happy little boy hopped up on the sugar. Well, party is over Mr D. From now on I have to cut back on sugar, cut out any white flour, and stick to whole grains-complex carbs.
So Monday at 8:15 I have the 3 hour test to check my levels again. If I fail this test, I have to go on "treatment" because I will technically have gestational diabetes. The doctor did not elaborate whatsoever on what the treatment is, but after reading my pregnancy books on gestational diabetes, I may be given some form of synthetic insulin. Let's hope that I pass!
I consider myself a pretty healthy eater, and I am also at the gym at least 5 days a week, so this really came as a surprise to me. However.....a couple of days before, I drank a gallon of lemonade(even though it is organic doesn't mean it has any less sugar!) and I also was peer pressured by a certain sister to eat a CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH FLAUTA WITH CHOCOLATE SYRUP AND POWDERED SUGAR! :) I wasn't really pressured that much....and boy, that dessert was one of the best desserts I have ever eaten in my whole life! I ate that the day before my doctor appointment, so I am hoping that the dessert combined with all that juice shocked my system and sent my sugar levels sky high. Especially since I don't usually eat like that. Only time will tell, so until the appointment, I have and will continue to eat fruit for dessert, and no juice for me unless it is directly from the fruit.
Other than that, the appointment went well. Doctor said I looked great, weight gain is on target, and Donovan looks perfect!
Until Monday...
