My doctor wants to test me for gestational diabetes. I show none of the risk factors (I have had normal weight gain, am under 25, no one in my family has ever had it, am not thirsty or urinating a lot, etc) and the doctor admitted that he doesn't believe I have it.
Normally, I would just have the test, I have had every other test they have ordered, but I am hypoglycemic, I would throw up the glucose drink or would pass out before the test could be completed. I already eat like a diabetic (5 to 6 small meals a day, limited carbs per meal, very limited sugar intake) and am more then willing to up my blood glucose testing from 2 or 3 times a day to 4 or 5 times a day if they would like.
They are insisting that I get the test and are telling me I am being selfish for questioning it. Has anyone else with hypoglycemia run into this?
I want to do what is best for my baby, but I have to think about my health too and for a hypoglycemic to do this test just seems like asking for trouble.

They just informed me that if I don't take the test that they are going to treat me as a diabetic. I have no problem with the diet and glucose testing, but if I am treated as a diabetic I have to come in weekly for fetal monitoring and they are going to prepare for a c-section birth.
I'm confused, how can they do this if I am not really diabetic?

You can refuse. Its only recently something they started doing, in the last ten years or so.
I h ad mine done late, i wasnt going to do it but i was dizzy a lot and felt weird, so i had it done around 31 weeks. They werent going to make me do it either.
Dont let them push you into things. YOu can always get tested later.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has NOTHING to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past.
It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.
