Refusing GTT test

[gonewithtthewind]

Has anyone refused the GTT test?
I just want to start by saying I have TRIED to do the rest 3 times, I've fasted like asked but if I don't eat I throw up so each time I've made myself I'll all day. I've drank the drink and less than an hour in I've thrown it all back up so had to do the rest again.
They still want me to try again tomorrow; I've said I can't do it and don't want to try again but I'm happy to do it a different way. Unfortunately they don't seem to be listening and are saying I'm refusing care and putting my baby's health at risk. I would do the test if I could, I just physically can't do it. I'm getting really fed up with not being listened to and told I'm putting my baby at risk, which I would never do. I don't know where to go from here?
I have no symptoms of gestational diabetes, my only risk factor is the fact both my parents have diabetes but they only developed it later on in life. Never had it when they were younger.

You can decline any test at all, they can only encourage you to have it.
”What are the risks of declining the test if offered?
If you decide not to have an OGTT, it will not be possible to assess your blood glucose levels. If you have high levels, these may go unrecognised, although you may develop symptoms. We know that GDM can lead to a greater risk of having a larger baby and this can lead to problems around the time of birth such as caesarean birth and shoulder dystocia (this is when baby’s shoulders have difficulty moving through the pelvis during birth). Research evidence shows that treatment to reduce glucose levels reduces the risk of having a large baby.”

Some women develop GD when there are no family members who are diabetic, however your parents both having it mean you have an increased risk of developing it, even without being pregnant.
If one parent developed type 2 diabetes before the age of 50, the chance of their children developing the disease is about 1 in 7. If type 2 diabetes occurred after the age of 50, this drops to 1 in 13. If both parents have type 2 diabetes, there is a 50% chance their children will also have type 2 diabetes.

During covid the way my maternity hospital tested for gd was just a fasting bloods. No drink or anything. Maybe ask about that? You can also ask them to provide you with a glucometer so that you can test your sugars before and after meals.
