hey everyone,
thanks for the replies. I found out today that my 1 hr result was apparently 'positive' and they'll probably be sending me to an endocrinologist... so while I don't know if that's a definitive GD result or not yet, sounds like at the very least I'm looking at impaired glucose tolerance. And I got the impression they won't be making me re-take the test... so there's a silver lining in every storm cloud I guess. But the whole thing is a bit of a bummer.

I've read some of the literature on here about whether GD really should be considered a "true" disease per se... and I think I'm just confused now. Oh well. Plus to add to it, I've already got other dietary restrictions which just make it a bit of a pain in the proverbial to put it mildly.

So I'm just going to wallow in self-pity for a bit, trot out the socially acceptable "positive" party line in public... and vent in here. Thanks again.
