I had mine cos I have sugar in my urine constantly, no matter what I eat. I got referred when they found sugar in my urine at 10am when I had eaten 1 piece of granary toast with flora on it. And a glass of water. The nurse was really patronising and said "yes, but there is a LOT of sugar in jam" condescending cow, I said "I know I make my own jam, thats why I just had flora, and choose granary bread because it has a lower glycaemic index than white bread" You could tell she was pissed off at me, cos she could explain away the sugar by saying that Im a stupid illeducated girl who eats crap all the time. Noone can really explain the sugar, and theyre all convinced I must either be diabetic, or lieing about what I eat. So I gave up and eat whatever now. Gonna see the midwife on monday and shes gonna send me for another test if its there again.

Im in so much trouble for not behaving like it says in the textbook!

blimey, whats the point of asking you what you ate, if they are going to assume your lieing!! what would you gain from having diabetes!!!!

Hope it's all ok okr they do something for you X

yeah to be honest, my GTT came back that my blood sugars werent even slightly raised, the nurse I spoke to one the phone was really impressed.

I just think obviously I dont absorb sugar very well, which is no bad thing, I think I quite like the idea that I can eat chocolate and the sugar doesnt touch my blood stream before I wee it out! theres nothing in the text book about that though...

horayyy for clear results being back and double horrayy for home birth being given the thumbs up!!

i didn't have this test but i've noticed a lot of people have had it on here!

i always have protein in my urine. they send it off every time and nothing bad ever comes back. least i don't think it does as i never hear anything. :S strange eh?

@ tiny, wish i had the guts to speak back to someone i'm such a pushover when it comes to stuff like that!!
