skipped out on my glucose test

Re: skipped out on my glucose test
I was calling MUD originally, but I clicked on her profile and she is spreading self-righteousness and ignorance all over TB and has been for awhile
You can't fake that grammar.
I really hope this is MUD, but unfortunately, it may not be. If it's not, then to the OP:
You are an ignorant, uneducated moron. I worry about the health and well being of your child. It's people like you who should stay on birth control. Please do not have any more children after this one. I don't care if this is horribly harsh.
"God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it" 1 Corinthians 10:13agreed.
op- sugar doesnt cause diabetes at all. obesity is a risk factor, so if you eat too much of anything and become obese, then you are at a greater risk. It is all about your genes though. which is why very active skinny people can still get type 2 and gd. type 1 is autoimmune, so diet/weight has nothing to do with it.
ignorance is not an excuse for harming your baby.
It has to be, right? Convincing myself of this is the only way I can walk away.

Loving the logic. It must be BECAUSE I took the test, that I have GD. Wish I had known sooner!!
If I had ignored the fact that I have GD, my baby's life would be at risk. Live with that. Placenta/hormones are total influencing factors to GD. Not eating habits. Grow up.
My mother had gestational diabetes when she was pregnant with me, and from what I know it wasn't kept under control as it should have been. Throughout pregnancy my body produced insulin for my body and her body, so when I was born my insulin was weigh too high. My blood sugar dropped to 5 and I was in critical care for a few days and weighed almost 9 pounds, mostly from fluid.
It is very important that your doctor knows whether or not you have gestational diabetes so they can monitor you and your baby's growth and well being. Gestational diabetes does not JUST make a big baby. There are other health risks involved. And one sugary gross tasting drink, is not going to harm you. Plus it is made by medical professionals and scientists. I don't think there are carcinogens or anything in it. Doctors require these tests for a reason, and your baby needs you to do what is best for him/her.
The grammar and ignorance of this post lead me to one thing = MUD.
Go Phils!!
I really think this is mud, but on the off chance that it is not, please go and take the test. I was one of those ladies who had undiagnosed GD ( I passed the 3 hour, and didn't gain a bunch of weight), and my DD was born with complications that we did not know about until after she born when her blood sugar was through the roof, and so was mine. She ended up having to stay in the NICU, getting insulin shots to bring her blood sugar down. It wasn't until she was 5 months old when we discovered that she basically had no immune system when she nearly died from bacterial Meningitis. Her immune problem was caused by my undianosed GD, and it nearly cost my DD her life. Infact the dr's think that her life was saved because she was born at 37 wks, and not 40 wks.
I know our stories are very different because I chose to take the tests, and you chose to skip out, but you need to get the hell over yourself, and do the damn test for your child.

Obviously some of you never perfected beer bonging. I downed mine without taking a breath. SUCKERS!! ;p
Thanks Green, you said everything I wanted to. I did want to throw in one more, SERIOUSLY?!
It has to be, or she is just a complete idiot! I was reading another thread about tearing and she replied to it saying she was going to have a natural birth because she didn't want to tear.
Wow, OP, you're a treasure. Really.
I had insulin dependent GD when I was pregnant. I was diagnosed at 12 weeks. (No, I wasn't diabetic before nor am I now)
I had to do finger pricks 4 times a day or more. I had to inject myself 5 times a day. Was it fun? No. Did I do it? Heck yes!
Why? Cause I'm not a selfish b!tch and I wanted healthy babies. And they are. I took care of myself and they are amazingly healthy, beautiful boys.
OP, you really piss me off. Damn, you're dumb.
LOL! Love it.
They would tell you what is in it I'm sure, you didn't ask? It seems a little irresponsible to turn down a procedure without first asking for more information about it. That being said, I asked for an alternative testing method and was provided a substitute that contained the same glucose amounts as the testing liquid that most practitioners use. You can find out if they will accept an alternative. It is important that you find out if you are at risk for any more complications that GD is related to and the discomfort of this test is nothing compared to something going wrong during labor or late pregnancy. find out your options and get tested.

This. I think this is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
I am dying at asking retired gma. I totally doubt anything has changed since the 70's. She should be spot on with knowing what is in a GLUCOSE drink. This is the one time I guarantee Dr. Google would be better.
Good for you! Whatever did you *do* with that whole hour to yourself?! Yup, nurses can just look at you and *tell* if you have GD or not, they don't even look at test results.

Diabeetus from the Glucose Tolerance Test?- it's more likely than you think. LOL
Not quite... but okay.
I'm not sure where people get off thinking they should procreate, but some just shouldn't.
Look up Glucola. This is actually the one I had. Then, I had to drink the 100g version and test for 4 hours. That was before they told me I had..... wait for it.... gestational diabetes.
It's a prescription only item. It's regulated. They can't hide the ingredients. Genius.
Classic. I can actually hear him saying it.

For the WIN!
Seriously...what are you, 16? Obviously not intelligent enough to be having a baby regardless. Put yourself and your baby in danger because you are ignorant...perfect!
You sound ridiculous.
This. But we can clearly see how "intelligent" the OP is by her text speak and lack of grammar.
