glucose test!

Right now I'm only 15 weeks roughly and my ob told me today to come in Monday for that testing! But they don't give it till 7 months along. Why would I be taking it this early? Although I do have 3 family members that are diagnosed with diabetes. My dad my grandpa and my grandma all do.

That's why is there's already a history of it. I had the same thing happen to me because grandma has it. Genetically your predisposed do they Just want to be sure

That's all it is is because you have immediate family with diabetes they want to make sure they start treating you now if you've developed it. If it weren't for the history they'd wait till later. I had one done at 15 came back fine have another in 2 weeks which is 27. Yours will probably be the same unless you come back positive

Thanks! I was just wondering because my mom didn't even understand why they were having me do it this early.!

That's probably why then, so they can catch it early if you do have it.
