I'm glad I had it done and TBH, I don't see what the big deal is really about fasting and drinking a drink. It's not that big a deal in the whole scheme of things.

Symptoms to look for if you don't have the test: feeling completely and utterly buggered, feeling weird after eating and soooooo thirsty.

I tried to manage it with diet but had to have insulin (couldn't do any exercise because of SPD). Again, I didn't find injecting myself a biggie. But I guess I compare everything to being housebound with SPD with a tantruming toddler all day so really, jabbing myself with a needle was the absolute least of my worries.

Upside - I was 66kg when I got pregnant with DD2, only put on 3kg and was 59kg after she was born. If I ever want to go on a diet, I'll be reverting to my GD diet.
