What is the fresh test?! 🌿 It’s made with non-GMO dextrose (derived from tapioca), crystallized lemon, and organic mint!! It tastes just like drinking a lemonade and I actually liked it! 😂 You’re able to use this over the usual drink they give you at the doctors! If you want the link, comment FRESH below & I’ll send! 🍋 #glucosetest #gestationaldiabetes #freshtest #thirdtrimester #28weekspregnant

I have been getting a lot of questions about what testing I did during my pregnancy. I did all of my recommended testing, but just under my terms 😉 A glucose tolerance test (GTT) is a prenatal test that measures how well your body processes glucose, or sugar. It’s commonly used to check for gestational diabetes, which can lead to pregnancy complications. There are several ways to test, which include drinking a sweetened liquid (called glucola) and drawing your blood 60 minutes later. This drink is often filled with dyes, natural flavors, and citric acid, so many women opt for the Fresh Test. The Fresh Test is a cleaner alternative, however it still has citric acid, which is something I avoid. I opted to check my blood sugars at home with an at home glucometer upon waking and one hour after meals. I did this for about a week, and I personally don’t mind needles. Some providers will feel comfortable having their clients drink juices instead of the glucola or Fresh Test, so make sure to see what your options are. Remember, you can always refuse testing, but this is something I personally wanted ruled out for peace of mind. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. #glucose #glucosetolerancetest #freshtest #glucola #pregnancy #gestationaldiabetes #diabetes #healthypregnancy #glucolaalternative

LET’S YAP GLUCOSE SCREENING!!!! When it comes to the glucose screening test in pregnancy, most providers offer the standard glucola drink. When I was pregnant, I personally didn’t lurvvvvv all that was in it. I wanted a cleaner alternative that gave me the glucose I needed without the added dyes and such. My midwife provided the @thefreshtest for me for both screenings and I will never NOT recommend this swap. It’s third-party tested, buns-approved, and works seamlessly for screening if the standard glucola drink is something that makes you hesitant. Most providers can get this option for you- you just have to ask!! And if they’re not willing to provide in on their behalf but are still open to you using it, you can buy it on your own which is really nice. They were so sweet to give me a code to give to YOU- if this is something you’re interested in. Talk with your provider and see which option is going to be best from the @thefreshtest site. Code BUNSINBALANCE will get ya some $ off! #freshtest #glucosescreening #pregnancy #gestationaldiabetes #holisticpregnancy #pregnancynutrition

Most of us know the drill: you hit week 24-28, and it’s time for the gestational diabetes screening. But did you know the standard “Glucola” drink isn’t your only option? If you’re worried about the ingredients (like artificial dyes or BVO) or just have a sensitive stomach, you can ask your doctor, Midwife, or OBGYN about these alternatives: 1️⃣ The Fresh Test: A clean, organic alternative that uses non-GMO glucose and crystallized lemon. 2️⃣ Meal/Food Alternatives: Some providers allow testing with specific amounts of juice, fruit, or even candy like jelly beans or Twizzlers (though this varies by practice!). 3️⃣ At-Home Monitoring: You may be able to track your blood sugar levels with a finger-prick monitor for a week to get a “real-life” picture of how your body processes food. Please know there is zero judgment here. If you feel like the standard glucose drink is what’s best for you and your baby, then absolutely go for it! My only purpose in sharing these videos is to get the information out there. So many moms don’t even know these alternatives exist because, let’s be real, a lot of doctors don’t mention them. I truly believe Jesus put me here to share this to remind you that you have options and a voice in your care ✨ Have you tried any of these alternatives? Let’s chat in the comments! 👇 #crunchymom #glucosetest #freshtest #informedchoice #pregnancyjourney

Did you know there are alternatives to the standard glucose drink? Pregnancy teaches you real fast that there’s rarely a one-size-fits-all approach It✨ For my glucose test, I opted for the Fresh Test - fewer additives, more transparency, and something that better aligns with my lifestyle. Always talk with your provider and choose what feels best for your body + baby🤍 Sharing this for any mamas who want to explore alternatives. @thefreshtest #pregnant #glucosetest #gestationaldiabetes #freshtest #bloodsugar

🍃 Did you know our office offers Fresh Test for our pregnant patients to use for their Glucose Tolerance test?! The Fresh Test is a natural alternative to the traditional Glucola drink. While both provide the same amount of glucose to measure how your body processes it, The Fresh Test uses natural, non-GMO, additive free ingredients. The Fresh Test is formulated to be easier on the stomach, reducing possible nausea that is commonly associated with the Glucose test. Our team tasted both and these are their unedited reactions! Have you tasted both?! If so, which is your preferred drink?! #freshtest #glucosetolerancetest #obstetrics #pregnancy #women4womenobgyn #huntsville #ihearthsv
