  • The one I took was the 3 hour test. I had to fast the night before. They took my blood every hour. It's the same test that they do give for gestational diabetes. I hope this helps some.

  • Thanks! Well the motivation showed up through a text message. It's sad to say that a broken heart isn't much of motivation but it is to me. I am now making sure I am logging my food in everyday. Also, I found it helpful to post a blog everyday through my journey, so far so good. I keep telling myself, just keep swimming.…
