diabetes test

On the 31st I have to take that diabetes test. Is it a choice to take it or its mandatory?

If you have it then you take another 3 hour test just to be sure. If it comes out positive again then your doctor will most likely give you a diet to follow and you'll have to manage your blood sugar levels. The upside is that it only lasts until your baby is born

What if they tell you that you have it?

I had fruit punch it was really good lol. I gained weight fast though so I was nervous I had it but I'm glad I don't.

It's not as bad as everyone puts it out to be if you're nervous. As long as the drink is cold, it tastes fine. I got the orange flavor and it tasted exactly like orange hi c to me so I was able to drink that sucker in less than a minute lol

No it's not required but it's best to just get it over with and do it

You don't have to take it if you don't want to. it isn't "Mandatory" its there policy to offer it to you but you can decline it. It's your LEGAL rights.

It's a required test that they have to do because it has a impact on your pregnancy down the road.
