I felt pushed into having this test in my first pregnancy - I have NO family history of Type 2 diabetes, I am very lean at 58kgs and 174cms tall, and very athletic - keeping up running through all of my first pregnancy.

So.......this pregnancy I said NO I am not taking the test. Again, I am feeling just wonderful, no symptons, keeping up my running and swimming - now at 31 weeks and I eat well.

So good on ya for questioning it - if you are imformed about the risks and know what to look out for and understand that the test itself is NOT very reliable anyway, then good for you.
