I have thought a bit about this test - they get you to fast for 12 hours and then have you drink a very sugary drink. I don't know that this test is all that good for a person that doesn't have GD but I wonder about the impact of a test like this in a person that does have GD. Logically, it doesn't seem to me to be a safe way to diagnose a condition like this.
Sorry if it a bit off topic but that is the sort of issue I woud look into before having the test again.
I would personally contact my health provider and have a chat to them before cancelling the test - just know what you want to ask about and discuss the issues with them. If you aren't happy with the answers, you can always postpone the test to another time when you feel more certain about the necessity of it.
