to refuse glucose tolerance test?

[CamberwellNichols]

Had a glucose tolerance test today. Took about 3 hours and required me to take a day off work because of it being at midday. For some reason the second sample of blood they took clotted and they want me to come back and have it done again.

I asked why I was having it done and they couldn't tell me. My BMI is 23.3, I have no family history of any kind of diabetes, baby looks normal size and I have no symptoms of GD. I am half Caribbean but they said this wouldn't be a trigger on its own. Even my own midwife can't work out why she ordered the test (she did it at my 8 week booking appointment). Her logic is that she 'must have ordered it for a reason so I should go back and have it re-done'

WIBU to just not go? I see no good reason for me to have it done...

I had hyperemesis and flatly refused to attempt the test. I got sick every day for 40 weeks. There was no way I was going to try to leave the house fasting and drink a bunch of sugar and then eat nothing for 3 hours without vomiting many times.

In the end I agreed to test my blood sugar several times a day instead. It was always fine and was much easier for me to do.
