HELL NO. It is so freakin innacurate. It's not a realistic way to measure your blood sugar levels. Truth be known if you had gestational diabetes, your urine test would pick up on it, and if you really wanted a more accurate measurement, go visit a diabetic friend and have lunch with them, wait 30 minutes and then use their tester. I went round and round with this with my first doctor (needless to say I switched to a midwife for the last 2 pregnancies) If you don't want to do it, then don't, they can't make you. I'm sure there's going to be some people on here telling you how crucial it is to have this test done but you think for yourself on this hon, it's YOUR body and YOUR baby, you would have already known if there was a problem. Good luck and enjoy your pregnancy!
p.s.- all 3 of my babies were healthy and under 7.5lbs!
