Considering not going for diabetes test - advice

[quarantinevibes]

This is my 4th pregnancy. I’ve had the test with all my previous 3 pregnancies and haven’t had diabetes.
The midwife has told me I am high risk because I am half Asian and my dad and his mum and siblings all have diabetes.
Surely if I was going to get it in pregnancy I would have got it in the previous 3? They’ve all been pretty much back to back within 1-2 years maximum of each other.
The reason I don’t want to go is because of the coronavirus and didn’t feel comfortable at all at my hospital scan with the packed waiting room and partners/ friends accompanying patients, etc.
Would it be ok not to go? Surely they’d know if I develop it anyway will I not have a large fast growing bump and other symptoms which would suggest I’d developed it?
Feel free to tell me I need to give my head a wobble and go

My advice for anyone going for a GD test that isn’t the 2 hour one but is just a random blood test at any time- eat a sugary meal like a sugary bowl of cereal before you leave the house.

I have gestational diabetes and if I have a bowl of cereal such as coco pops or Frosties etc, my sugar levels are sky high after one hour. So doing this before your blood test should show if you react as badly to sugar as I do lol. If you are still in normal levels after this, you most likely don’t have GD!

@Catlover10 - OP needs to follow the medical advice given to her in the letter, not the advice of a random on the internet. Appreciate you mean well but eating before some GD tests could invalidate them.

You are still at risk regardless whether you have had it or not previously.

I didn’t have my GTT with my first baby, my only risk factor was BMI 30.5 (cut off 30). I had no symptoms during pregnancy. 36weeks scan begins was sizeable with increased fluid. Born maceosomic, 10lb 5oz, polycythemia.. definitely diabetes.
Just not worth the risk
