That's interesting Stars, do you have anything in your urine that shouldn't (sounds a bit dodgy! LOL)? My middies definitely told me they only do the test if you have glucose because if you don't have glucose there you don't require treatment (i think they said sub or pre diabetic, can't remember). Like people can come up positive for the test when it's very temporary (because you SHOULD have more sugar in your blood while PG, to feed the baby, or something, and you can have more some times than others). But if there's no glucose that indicates it's within normal-for-you levels.
The testing here goes: glucose in urine? If yes then blood test. Glucose in blood high? If yes then glucose tolerance test. Glucose tolerance low? If yes then diagnose GD and treat. This is standard practice in the UK, so it's interesting to me. Hope you don't mind talking about it!
