Didn't have the test done with DD, won't be having it this time. I already monitor my diet and eat well during pregnancy anyway, if I did have GD and got to the point where I was one of the small amounts of people that needed insulin, one of my HCP's would pick up on those symptoms and we'd act accordingly. I really don't see the big deal in that
I saw a similar piece in the Australian this morning. I'm off to test my 1 in 5 chances on Friday. I won't refuse the test because I'd rather enjoy smugly saying "told you so" to the folk who call me high risk.
The question, I think, is whether or not it is currently underdiagnosed? QLD Health seemed to think it was, and have changed their measures recently. At first thought, the article didnt bother me, but I had only thought of improved diet... Not the ensuing interventions. It's a tricky one.
