Glucose Test

Hey everyone. How did you all go with your glucose test? Ive got mine tomorrow. A bit anxious! My mum and sister both had gestational diabetes. So im kind of expecting to also have it. But we'll see :) Hope your all doing well. Im feeling so exhausted and have really bad pain in my tailbone and not really sleeping much. But otherwise im good. Lol.

Mine came back clear, which I'm very thankful for. Was pretty worried about it, I have a strong family history of diabetes so glad that hurdle was passed. :)

I don't see how your test was painful.  My test was an hour long after I took that orange drink I had to wait 1 hour for them to draw blood...

I'm in the middle if getting mine right now, I'm pretty nervous because I heard that stress will raise your sugar and I've been beyond stressed out the past couple months. And a lot more the last two weeks. It's been better the past 36 hours though. But still, I don't want to have to go back to do the three hour test :(
