After having my test I'm questioning the results. I scored an 8 which is positive GD.
However what I question is the rules I had to follow which seem unrealistic for a true result.
In 2007/8 I had the test, I could go for a walk and drink water during the test.
This time I was instructed not even a drop of water and they wanted me to lay on a patient bed for the 2 hours. However its unlikely i would take 75g of sugar then lay around for 2 hours. Had I walked for 5 minutes my glucose levels would have been lower and therefore I would have passed.
Until I get my monitor I can't see how correct the results were in diagnosing GD, but it will be interesting to see..... Especially seeing as I'm STARVING!!! All this carb control is hard lol
