[quote=Anonymous]I was just diagnosed, and all the materials they gave me said they are tightening the ranges they use (which means more women will be diagnosed) because they've found too many women are going undiagnosed and having complications. So, it's unlikely that they'll let you opt out of further treatment altogether. I would agree that it's worth seeing if you can redo the 1 hour test if they'll let you though. But if not, definitely schedule the 3 hour test for first thing in the morning. I only had to fast from midnight on--and could have started the test at 8 am. Also, the age factor as an increased risk for gestational diabetes is thought to be more like 25 than 35. I didn't have any of the other risk factors either--and I still have it. Managing it has been really easy so far though, so I'd really encourage you to take care of yourself and the baby![/quote]
