Its to test for gestational diabetes. Its best to go for it especially if u have any family history etc. Just to make sure u can safely deliver your baby. If u are tested for diabetes, they might recommend changes to diet etc, or give u insulin injections to manage it. Mums with GD have higher chance of giving birth to bigger babies or even babies with low sugar. So in my opinion, its good to go for it!!
