Im just wondering if anyone has not bothered doing the Glucose Tolerance test. The hospital never even said anything to me about it, but I am involved in a study and they want me to do the long one. I am thinking about cancelling my appointment as it is tomorrow morning.

I have two children already and am perfectly healthy. My family has no history of diabetes.

If I do have any of the symptons of Gestational Diabetes can't I just get it checked out then? I doubt there will be any problem though.

Its just a huge inconvenience for me to try and get the kids up early, they are 3.5 and 2, and then be obviously waiting around for ages while I have the tests done. I just dont think it's really necessary.

Your advice and opinions would be much appreciated.
