Gestational Diabetes

I am 15 weeks pregnant with twins. For my first pregnancy I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 24 weeks, so apparently the likelihood of me having GD again this time around is high. When I brought it up to my doctor, she didnt seem too wroried about me taking an early glucose test, but I cant help by feel worried. I'm not being super careful with my diet and I feel like I could be potentially hurting the babies if I DO have it.. Has anyone taken an early walk in glucose test to get diagnosed with it early?
I feel like i want to for peace of mind, but I'm torn. 
TIA

    I was diagnosed at 28 weeks with my Singleton, and then did an early 1 hr glucose test and just barely failed at 12 weeks this pregnancy (di di twins). We decided ahead of time to skip the 3 hour and just start the diet. I have the same issue as last time- only my fasting levels are off. I think it’s worth pushing to have an early test with twins and second pregnancies just to be safe. The test sucks, but worth it!

    Just treat yourself as though you do have GD, and you’ll save yourself a lot of issue, and when 28 weeks comes, take your test and see what it says.
