3-hour Glucose
Well, I did the 3 hour glucose test today and won't have results until post-Christmas. :( How not fair is that? So, I asked what I needed to watch over the holidays and they said not to eat simple starches (white bread, rolls, pasta, and potatoes). If I avoid those I can have a limited number of sweets, and by limited I mean like a slice of pie a day or the equivalent. Partaking of a simple starch means I must pass up any sweet treats. Hmmm...decisions, decisions. Really the sweets are apparently not as bad for me as the simple starches. I thought that was interesting. This is only until I find out if I pass or fail the glucose test. It just stinks that it happens to be right during Christmas. And poor Matt and Angie have to put up with my odd eating habits. Sorry guys!
It will be a lot easier with my supportive family around, but it's still going to be hard. I love the Christmas cookies!!!!!!! In order to help myself not to be tempted I have not made any Christmas treats at my house. My mother-in-law brought a few down and some people have gotten me candy, but I am working very hard to avoid it all until I get my results back.
So, wish me luck...not only on the test but on the avoiding all things off limits. lol
