good luck with your results TK

i did the 6 week check up & then my GP gave me a referral to have the test again a month or two before we said we wanted to TTC #2....but i didn't get it done and i can't remember if she said to get it done each year. oops. i think there is a really strong chance i will have it again this PG - i have so many things that point towards it (weight, family history, previous GD, age).

Well the good news is that I am still diabetes free - my levels are better and within 'normal' ranges. Insulin is all good still and I am no longer insulin resistant!!

I need to lose weight which is not easy with PCOS but can be done I just need to get into the right head space to focus on it.

I'm a little confused - I had insulin dependant GD with my first pregnancy in 2009 but I never had to haave any follow up at all. Wonder why some of us have had annual follow ups and others nothing at all? I'm about to book a test for my current pregnancy and the doctor actualy said to me "Well obviously you'll have it so we may as well know sooner rather than later." What a rude man!!

Very rude and IMO ill informed - I had GD with my first and didn't with this pg.....

Not sure why some have a follow up b/c I didn't with DD born in 2007
