I had it - my grandfather has type II diabetes and, unknown to me at the time, one of his sons has it too. When it starts in your uncle's 30s, then it's a bit more of a risk for me developing GD. It is upsetting to me to think that I'm not going to be having the test with Stormy. I know I could, and I know I could have just one test and that be it... but it wouldn't be just one test, would it? I have to refuse everything and put my baby at risk just to not be abused and bullied. (That's me, not other people and not people reading this, unless I read it again, in which case it is pertinant.) Being honest - this test is the ONE single thing that would make me tell a medical person about a pregnancy.

If you're allowed to take it, take it. Honestly. It is worth it, even if you have a false positive (rare from my experience). And if you do have GD, that puts you at a substantially higher risk of developing type II diabetes in the next 10 years - something you will need to keep on keeping an eye on. And yes, the test is a bit abnormal - but a working body will change it back to "normal" very quickly and honestly, our children are never, ever going to have a sugar rush in the next few years?
