*Sigh* Should’ve had my blood drawn yesterday for this test while I was in for my monthly check-up but careless me didn’t read the instructions and ate a mango and 2 mini-size pieces of chocolate within 24 hours of the test, so the lab technicians asked me to go in this morning instead. :(

Hopefully, I won’t hear back from them within 2-3 days (they will only call if test is positive)…so what does this test for? Gestational diabetes, which affects about 4% of all pregnant women - about 135,000 cases of gestational diabetes in the United States each year.
