I don't know what the doctor would say - many of them I know would just roll their eyes and mutter about patients who think they know best...

And sometimes we do!

I've had the same line of thinking. If I get pregnant this summer, I don't want to have the glucose tolerance test (gtt) done to test your reaction to sugar and possible gestational diabetes.

If I promise to follow a low sugar diet and check my blood sugar daily, don't you think I should be alright if I refuse to take the test? You have to drink pure sugar for that and get lab drawn several times!

Sounds like a test I can do without - I can predict what I'd feel like afterwards!!!
