Glucose test

I’ve been tested twice, first was the standard one where you drink the drink then wait to hours for additional bloods, second one was after a scan, it was literally just bloods. They said they only do that test twice per week as it’s expensive so it could be a while before i got my results. Which may explain why it’s not offered as standard, but there’s def an alternative. I’m uk based btw x
I did the The 7 day at home test where you prick your finger 4 times a day. I thought it was a better representation of gestational diabetes since it went off of what your lifestyle and food choices were rather than than artificially creating a situation that could cause you to look like you had diabetes. I recommend the at home. We also had a choice to eat tons of jelly beans, but again, so much junk in that.
@Taryn thank you! Will definitely ask!
@Kristina great, this is the one that the doctor gave me as an alternative. He tried to convince me to go w the syrup but I will most likely opt for this one. Thanks!
look up The Fresh Test. way better ingredients, and my doctor approved it! it even tasted good like lemonade . i passed my test
@Andrea🦄🧲🔥⚔️💖 got it so you just chose not to do it? Was the doctor ok w it? Will continue to do research and perhaps not do it then
