[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This 50gm sugar is so unnatural. I have a very low sugar diet and my post prandial glucose in the past has been under 100. Is it possible to convince to OB to just let me do a couple of simple post prandial tests and opt out of 1hr. They will still get the data they need and it will confirm I am not GD. Anyone try that?[/quote]

Same for me, and I'm the one whose OB refused to use several post-prandial tests in lieu of the artificially high sugar load. I would never put such poison into my body NOT pregnant, I sure as hell was not willing to do so pregnant. Worse, that sugar is glucola, from corn, one of the highest GMO products in the country (if you care about that, and I do). OB gave me a hard time about it 5 years ago, but I refused to take the test. He said if I refused we'd just have to proceed as though I had GD. I said fine, he did a few additional blood draws and a late term ultrasound, and my baby was born absolutely healthy, with no problems, at 6.5 lbs at 41 weeks 4 days. [/quote]
