The grossest orange drink you will ever drink...

Last week I had my monthly check up appointment with my Dr. The main goal of this month was to do my first Glucose Tolerance test to test for Gestational Diabetes. Being a PCOS patient, I had to do this test much earlier than other normal pregnant ladies who do it around the 7 month mark.

The test is simple enough, you drink a sugary drink and then 1 hour later they test your blood for glucose levels. The problem is the drink. It is like flat orange soda with 10x the amount of sugar of a regular soda. You have to drink it all in 5 minutes. If you throw up you have to drink another one. It was not fun.

Good news is- I passed! My levels were normal so I am not diabetic right now which is good. I have to retest at the 7 month mark just in case though. Not looking forward to drink that stuff again!!
