[QUOTE="archersuz, post: 1669653, member: 437371"] I had a test that showed positive for the predisposition - I had gestational diabetes. But did it 'educate' me and did I change my ways? NO!!! And now 22 years later I have T2. Interestingly I asked my GP a few years ago if I should have a test because of the gestational diabetes and he said no. When I went to see a different GP when I was diagnosed, she admitted that I should have been tested annually, and the practice had only just found that out! So, there is only a value in developing a genetic test if people who get a 'positive' receive the education and support required to change their lifestyle and diet. How I wish I had listened to my body 22 years ago...... [/QUOTE]
