So I had the blood glucose test this morning.  This was not a test I was looking forward to…since when pregnant with Ellie, I didn’t pass it the first time, sending me to the hospital for the three hour test (which i then threw up…)All around…a bad experience. 

I have been dreading this test for two and a half weeks now…it seemed like every time I scheduled it, I would get the flu the weekend before and have to postpone.  I’m pretty sure the doctor’s office thought I was just never going to take the thing.

The tips I got for passing it (or at least getting the best reading I could) was to not eat carbs, specifically bread, white rice, pasta or potatoes for 48 hours before the test.  Since what I normally eat is mainly carbs, i knew this was going to be a challenge, but thought if it helped me pass, i was game to try anything. 

So, last night, I’m looking in the fridge to see what I can snack on and all i see is the yummy carbs I can’t eat…and then today after the test, I’m looking in the fridge to see what I can snack on and I can’t find anything. 

Isn’t this ironic…all I wanted before and couldn’t have is what I don’t want now.  Human nature?  Wanting what we can’t have…

(on a side note…I did pass it.  134 was my reading…it just had to be below 140, so all in all, feeling pretty good about it – and loving the carbs I’m eating now!)
