    Life post GD...

    When I was discharged from hossy they gave me the path care slip then to go and have the test again and then get the gp at my 6 week check to let me know the results.
    The results were good and gp just said to make sure I do the test every 2 years as my chances of developing diabetes is doubled now.
    I can't stand the drink, it's vile and makes me feel sick. I really only drink water so something that sweet is yuk. I had to have the tolerance test with all three pregnancies and I get quite anxious knowing I have to drink it I also can't stand sitting there for 2 hours, I have better things to do with 2 hours child free...lol
    I guess it's just poor communication for those that haven't been told to do a follow up test after birth and then every couple if years..

    I had my levels tested after DS was born and they were normal. I received a letter when he was just over 12mths old to get tested.......... so far I haven't gotten around to it. Can I have one done this early in pg?

    I think I'm also the only person alive who thought the drink was nice. LOL....... kinda like flat overly sweet softdrink. I'd put sugar on my sugar though........ Note to self: step away from the sugar, and behave.
