Hello BB Forum...
Just pondering and interested in hearing from people who have declined the GTT.
I have been placed in the high risk category as both my parents are Type 2 diabetics.
I am also in a situation where if I test positive to GD, then I can't birth at my local hospital as they only take low risk births and GD would make me a high risk. I would have to go to a hospital about an hour away. I would rather freebirth than go to that hospital - eww...
I dont believe I have GD, and I am thinking of declining the test but I am doing my research before I decline. As a high risk for GD, I go straight to having the 2 hour fasting test between 26-28 weeks, which is (unluckily) in the first few weeks of January after the whole crazy holiday season... Boo...
So please, I would love to hear if anyone has declined the test after being told they are high risk based purely on family history (or my parent's history of their poor lifestyle choices :shakehead:) and not on any symptoms experienced...
TIA
