MW told me at booking in that due to my BMI I should have the glucose tolerance test. BMI is 31 atm (was just over 30 when I got pg).
I don't really want this test, but I don't like the tickbox attitude (if I'd been just a few pounds lighter I wouldn't have been offered it)
I didn't get GD when pg with DS, and I was heavier then. I've lost 2 stone before TTC this time and I feel like all the HCPs are focussing heavily on my weight (i had none of this with my first pg at all - the test wasn't even offered to me)
Can I just refuse to have it? What are the risks if I decide not to have it? I don't feel well informed enough to refuse itat the moment.. does anybody have more information they can give me?
Are certain people more at risk from GD (weight aside). I have no family history of diabetes at all, but don't know if this is relevant
