Gestational Diabetes

I just got my OGTT test result and turns out my third result which was the 120min was a little high 9.7 the doctor told me to come tomorrow and my mind is not at ease, as I am wondering if you're pregnant and have gestational diabetes do the doctor will prick your finger for glucose blood test? like often? because I've done that kind of finger prick test before and I hate it I rather get blood drawn from needle then finger prick.

I’m with nuh, failed my 2nd result. Also had to purchase glucometer and test 7 times a day. 2-3 days a week. Was afraid of needle pricking, especially the very first time I tried to prick. However, after the initial fear, the pricking gets easier. You can adjust the needle length such that it doesn’t hurt.
