And I'm not excited. I have my first glucose test first thing tomorrow morning. I failed with Sophie about as failingly as you can fail. How am I preparing? Craig and I are going to eat some super carbylicious meal that will probably include a lot of brown or wild rice. I looove wild rice. And whole wheat toast with the tiniest bit of jam. And milk. And maybe even a little chocolate cake. Oooh, yummy.
I'm just so glad I get to go through this again since I
obviously have every single one of the risk factors associated with GD:
- Age greater than 25 {not until the end of September!}
- Family history of diabetes-type 1
- Personal history of type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes/HIGH blood sugar {I have hypoglycemia}
- Previous delivery of a 9+ pound baby
- Nonwhite race. {Uh... is this even a question? Look at my daughter, for crying out loud!}
- Sedentary lifestyle accompanied by unhealthy/incomplete diet
And my personal favorite...
- Overweight or obese prior to or during pregnancy.
If anyone dares tell me that I am overweight now, take this as fair warning, I might slap you. Or stomp on your foot. Or take your thin mints. Probably just take your thin mints. :(
