I was "sugar and spice and everything nice" until...

...I received my first glucose screening test results on Wednesday, which showed that I was "abnormal" and had an elevated glucose level. Goodbye waffles, potatoes, milkshakes, and cravings. Today I took a three-hour glucose tolerance test, which is a test administered to determine if you have type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes. After reading several articles, I learned that I have a predisposition for gestational diabetes because my family members had type 2 diabetes and I'm Asian. I will find out the test results sometime next week. It's frustrating to receive this news since I had only gained three pounds, or one pound per week, in the last three weeks, and I have continued to exercise regularly. Somewhere online I read that if I have gestational diabetes, I have a 50% chance of developing type 2 diabetes later on...just great. I should just be really thinking about baby's health, I know.
