Glucose screening testing- Stephanie over at Whole30 Healthy Mama Happy Baby wrote a great blog about all the options you may not know about when it comes to glucose tests. I took my test a few weeks ago and agreed to the early testing because multiple women in my family had gestational diabetes. But mostly I agreed because I was able to drink 100% juice instead of the glucose stuff that’s full of artificial junk, food additives, and genetically modified corn. The downfall of that much sugar was I craved sweets for the rest of the day but my test came back fine, and it was reassuring to know that I’m already managing my blood sugar well. #thatskindofmyjob
Side note- there is a whole program, Whole30 Healthy Mama Happy Baby, dedicated to Whole30’ing (and special modifications) to help with planning to have a baby, during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and post partum. It’s full of pretty amazing information beyond just nutrition, like an awesome community of supportive and encouraging women. Since I’m a Whole30 coach, I have a discount code if you’re interested in joining that program. Shoot me a message if you have questions and let’s chat.
