Just thought I'd add that I had GD with my first pregancy and I was glad I had the test as I did not fall into any of the at risk categories. I was lucky enough to manage it through diet and my bub was an average weight of 7lb 3 (I believ this is becasue I controlled it so well). The other reason I was glad to know I had GD was that you are then at a higher risk of type 2 diabetes later in life and I would rather know this now so I can do my best to prevent this. I figure it's the same as knowing family medical history like having high blood pressure or high choelesterol. Anyway thats just my view on having the test
