Gestational Diabetes

After all we learned alot during my wife's pregnancy. Yesterday we been to the hospital the whole morning for a regular check up but this is a diffirent one. Before our appointment yesterday, we were adviced that my wife will not eat  food after midnight before the schedule because they will check her blood sugar for a gestational diabetes. Actually our previous check up, she was checked already but the result was not normal so to make sure of it they took another tests and that was yesterday.

Why did we stayed long at the hospital..? They took blood test four times. When we arrived at the hospital around 8 o 'clock in the morning the nurse send us to the laboratory department and that was the first blood test. After the test the man in-charged gave my wife two glasses full of water. One glass water with a 100mg. of sugar and the other glass is just a plain water. My wife said... oh no.... it's too sweet... then they told us to be back for an hour to take another blood test, then after that wait again for another hour for another one until four times... It's so funny because they don't know where to inject..... we're still confused and just do what the doctor's advice since we had no knowledge about this.

And the result is................... she has but the doctor clasified it as a class A. This class needs to avoid much carbohydrates, fatty and sugar content foods and to have exercise... unlike if class B she needs to take medicine.. Next two weeks will be our next appointment then test her blood sugar again. Hope that her blood sugar will become normal by this time...
