Glucose test results

So remember how I hoped I was successful with some test I took? I'm pretty sure I said something like: "Lets hope I pass something!"

Note to self: CLARIFY.

When I meant "pass" I didn't mean "please let me meet all the requirements to be considered..." Someone obvisouly misunderstood me and I FAILED my glucose test (I passed all the hurdles to be diagnosed- see, clarify!)

What this means: I have gestational diabetes. I know nothing else. I go to the doctor on Tuesday and the Regional Diabetes clinic will contact me Monday for their appointment.

Even though I was kind of expecting it given my history (pre-diabetic) its still upsets me. I think what upsets me most is that because of my history I am informed enough to know sort of how my diet needs to look until I talk to the specialists and find out exactly what the diet needs to be based on my numbers. This means the thought of "splurging" Monday night on a giant bowl of pasta at Olive Garden would leave me filled with guilt unlike other ladies who don't know what to expect. Dang- I could play dumb for one night if anyone offers it up though....I'd just pack my bags for the trip beforehand. The guilt trip of course....
