I *passed* the GD test (GTT - the long one) and yet I still have GD. My fasting sugars are still high and my levels through the day can be up depending on what I eat. My endocrinologist said she wouldn't have tested me (and saved me two lots of 3 hour torture sessions!!) as I fit many of the risk factors and instead would have had me monitor my BSL's as the pregnancy progressed. She believes that the stress test aspect of the GTT does not identify all women with GD and regular monitoring would provide a better level of evaluation for those with the risk factors. She doesn't care what your body can do when loaded and stressed with a slog of sugar, she wants to know what you are doing on a day to day basis which is what the baby is getting.
