if you're that worried, eat a protein rich diet and cut back on carbs. the carbs are what elevate your blood sugar

Honestly, there's nothing you can do to prevent GD. They make you eat a certain amount of time before the test, and then you fast. I eat very healthy and I have it. It's a "miscommunication" between your body and the placenta.

Also, the "carbs" also include dairy, starchy vegetables, and fruit. The diet is crazy but very manageable.

I have Kaiser, but they had me eat 10 hours before the test, and had me eat a specific meal. I went in and drank the drink and they took my blood every 3 hours.

Have you done the orange drink already? Or do you have to do the GD test?

Kaiser is my insurance provider.

my Dr wanted me to do it but after doing lots of research and following my gut I'm skipping it.

you don't have to do anything. it's your baby your body.
