Has anyone every refused testing? I've been doing a lot of reading and I'm discovering that there is quite a lot of controversy over testing every pregnant woman for GD. I had an initial glucose test and the results came back just over the "normal" line. I eat a very low-refined sugar diet and feel like of course a very high glucose drink would spike my blood sugar! I have none of the risk factors associated with GD and my baby is right on track in size.
I'm thinking of refusing the 2hour glucose test. It causes me stress and there is little evidence that it marginal high blood sugar effects pregnancy at all.
