[QUOTE="Katharine, post: 32783, member: 7958"] If your gtt was fine very recently this is very good news. I wonder if providing you with urine testing strips would be a middle path here? If you checked your urine a few times a week and got blood tests if two were positive you could minimise blood testing but still pick up gestational diabetes. I should say that the blood sugar level that is needed before glucose appears in the urine is reduced in pregnancy. This idea would be no use if you are already producing some sugar in the urine despite normal blood sugars. [/QUOTE]
