I don't want to do the GTT tommorrow :(

[Cocoflower]

I am being made by the hospital consultant to have a GTT.

Reason? Becuase I have PCOS the risk of diabetes is greater. This is my 2nd baby and I was fine first time round.

However I had a scan & clinic on Thursday (am 28 weeks)- although baby is slightly small she is growing just fine for her own rate on the graphs and no trace fo sugar in urine.

I really dont want to do this test. The though of being starving first thing in the morning (I always feel dreadful anyway), rushing around on a school run and then being subjected to two blood tests (which I HATE) and drinking lucozade which I find disgusting.

I dont see why I need this- if there were symptoms then sure.

But why cant they do the GTT oral test for checking urine instead of more needles? Why cant they just do they finger prick test like they do in pharmacies?

Why do it at all, and make it the worst method!

Insulin... more needles....

Still nervoulsy waiting results....

A positive diagnosis doesn't necessarily mean insulin injections. If diet can't control sugar levels then the next step is tablets. Injections are step 3. Fingers crossed you (and I) don't need injections!

I see...have to call tommorrow- results not in still.

Fingers crossed for you too :)

I got a positive result - I am managing with diet alone, you actually feel more in control when you know and can do soemthing about it.
