Because my dad was diagnosed with diabetes last year, and I'm over 30, I now have been advised to do the GTT (ie fast overnight and go in for the long test) which I'm feeling a bit peeved about. I ummed and ahhed about it last time, and what irks me this time is that I'm very fit, eating better than I did with the first two, weighing MUCH less than I did with the first two, and they were very average weights (can't remember kg but 7lbs with S and 7 lbs 3?4? oz with T). Being over 30 and the family history are the only two symptoms.

On the other hand, talking to Dad about his diabetes and knowing the risks of having it, I'm reluctant to avoid taking the test. I feel like it's a bit of a catch-22.

I'm also really bad at going without food at the best of times... all I can say is someone had better be there with a bacon sandwich straight afterwards, otherwise I will cry, throw up, get incredibly angry, or all of the above.

Hmph. At least I'm not due to take it until after Christmas. That reminds me I have to book it tomorrow. It's making me annoyed just thinking about it now.
