glucouse test alternitives?
For my pregnancy, you know they make "normies" do that ridiculous glucose tolerance test. I flat out refused to do it. Even though I have zero issues with sugar, dumping or any problems, that test is so old, and outdated, and can easily be screwed up by eating carbs the night before. I tested at home for 2 weeks, 4 times daily. First thing fasting in the A.M. then 3 times throughout the day 2 hours after my 3 biggest meals of the day. It was a pain in the ass, and it sucked poking myself, but I just wasn't going to be tagged with gestational diabetes after chugging 75grams of straight within 3 minutes. There are some other alternatives such as carb loading and then having your level checked 2 hours after eating, but my OB didn't recommend that route for me.
