I'm not sure how much family history or, 'how you feel' plays into the GD equation........ a lean, fit girlfriend of mine, with a good diet and no prior history family history of any type of diabetes, ended up getting GD with her second pregnancy. She modified her diet and gave birth to a beautiful 10lb baby boy.

But as people have pointed out, you don't have to have the test at all. When i had it first time i had the drink, went away, then went back an hour later foor the blood sample. I know there is a GTT and a GCT which take different amounts of time. But i am pretty sure the basic one only takes an hour. Although different pathology places prob have different protocols. If you wanted to have it done and time was an issue, you could ring around a few pathology places and find someone that does the hour test.

Totally up to you.
