Life post GD...

[tk1999]

least its only once a year you have to deal with it and not everyday

Very true... it scares me to say that I don't think I will be far off though with the family history, my PCOS etc.

I really dislike the test - the drink is just vile and is getting harder and harder to drink as each time I know how I will feel afterwards. The pathology collector had to sit next to me and make me drink it this time. I remember the first time I ever had to do the test and remember it being easier to drink the drink - mostly because I didn't know how it would effect me.

Thanks Jewel. There is a strong family history of type 2 so this time of year leaves me with a lot of anxiety.

I only have to do my test every two years....I wonder why.....I'm due for mine now too but keep putting it off. I find it hard to get the time to go and sit for 2-3 hours and do nothing! The drink is vile. But I guess it's for the best. I had GD with both pregnancies. I would rather catch diabetes early than find out when the damage has been done. I hope your results come back ok. I'm sure if you've been good with your diet and all that preventative stuff you will be fine. I've been a bit of a paranoid freak since I had GD. I still eat the GD diet and everything is low GI. Big hugs. I understand how nerve wracking the wait is xx
