I've had it twice and I did a bit of reading. Whilst factors of age, weight and certain ethnicity.can increase your risk (and they - medical practitioners - really do play heavily on this) the research I found indicated that the.risk factors only occurred in 50% of women with gd. Having been through 2 pg with gd at mmc and sitting for considerable lengths of time in the clinic d waiting room on 'gd day', I think the research is right .
My personal opinion is that the way you are supposed to eat as a diabetic is the way we should eat anyway so it's not a bad way of eating to follow. Bearing in mind that in some cases even the best if eating won't control your levels (and that's where I think being able to test would be handy).
I'm a control freak so I started testing in pg 2 before I had the test.
It is alot cheaper to get the strips once you're registered with the ndss. I tested first thing in the mornings and after breakfast, lunch and dinner.
