I didn't decline hun, but that's because I was 40 and a high risk for GD. Luckily I didn't have it, but a close friend my age did. GL hun, it's just one of those things that they want to check I guess.

I would be more worried about the risks to bub when its born if you did have undiagnosed GD? IYKWIM. I too am overweight and was more overweight last pregnancy and I didnt have GD, not even close.

I thought about it a lot when I was up for it, and I decided to have it because it would have been worse if I did have it and it was undiagnosed.
BUT it is your personal choice, if you don't want it then you don't have to have it...
Something to remember though is that it is completely random so even if your diet is great, you exercise etc you can still get it (I am not trying to scare you into it! LOL it;s just not like normal diabetes)

Yeah, that.
I was the same with my pregnancies. #1 - quite overweight and stacked on a chunk more weight - no GD, pretty much perfect results. #2 - Still overweight but smaller and more active - excercise & sport. - Bad results. GD. Luckily I had mine controlled with diet and excercise.
Even though some people aren't that lucky and with diet and exercise their levels just rise no matter what they do.
It's hard to tell sometimes.
Everything is so stressful. I can totally imagine how you felt lighter after your decision though.
I'm a stresshead and all that too.
