Oh, I am soooo sweet!

I have become too sweet nowadays.... no kidding!

My sugar readings were showing astronomical figures. So doctor told me to do GTT test and I totally despised it. To be frank I hate to do any kind of blood test... can't stand that oh-my-blood-is-being-suck feeling or for that matter any injection. And this GTT was especially horrible. They keep you hungry throughout the test, make you drink yucky glucose and take out blood 4-5 times. I fainted when they tried to draw blood third time.

:-(

Since I could not do GTT successfully, doctor told me to get admitted, so that they can test and control sugar levels. To be frank, I preferred getting admitted than doing GTT all over again. Yes, if you eat anything in between the GTT test or vomit all that stupid glucose, you need to do it again from the scratch. I found this test too cruel for the mankind.

So, as I said, I pulled myself together and decided to get admitted to the hospital. I went on a small shopping trip to help myself feel better (LOL, yes, it works!). Since this was the first time I was going to be admitted in a hospital, I was pretty nervous. I thought I should try to be cheerful, so I wore a nice black gown, put on my new lipstick (which I bought a day before) and got admitted.

LOL.

It looked like I was a bit too cheerful there. Since I was not really having any problem, they didn't give me hospital gown. So there I was.... all dressed up with that long lasting lipstick (gah! it stayed for whole 3 days), while all other female patients looked gloomy and sad with sort of bad hair day. Note to myself - never put on a long stay lipstick when you are going to be admitted.

Ahem!

Any way, I was put on insulin shots thrice a day to control the sugar. I hated everybody there - nurses who took my sugar readings, nurses who pricked me with insulin injections and the doctor who made me go through all that.

After three days the reading were bit low, but still on the higher side. I am diagnosed with Gestational diabetes., which disappears after delivery. I am told to continue taking insulin and check sugar thrice a day until delivery.

:-(

Boooohoooo! why don't they invent something which can show sugar reading without pricking people and why can't they invent insulin which can be gulped down? The only relief was that there is kind of insulin pen available, which can be used instead of injection. In a way, I should be grateful that this sugar problem was detected only during the last month. I will need to do this for about one month now.

I am so much waiting for the baby to come out.
