I would continue glucose testing on a regular basis, especially when pregnant. I was medication free for nearly two years and then the diabetes returned. I am in the process of getting this figured out. Maybe damage from long term type two brought on permanent problems. My point is that the body can change depending on diet, stress and health. I am disappointed about what happened to me, but this new diabetes is much easier to control. I just have to get back in the habit of frequently testing my Blood sugars. Pregnancy can bring on gestational forms of diabetes, as well. Use caution.
Edited to add:
ooppps MY MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE IS CONGRATULATIONS. MAY THIS BE THE HAPPIEST TIMES OF YOUR LIVES.

 yes, yes, I do plan to test.  I was actually critically questioning what someone else told me a couple weeks ago on this board.

Amazing happy news! Congrats

Having been a prior fanatic over all complications OB related I can't think of a single logical reason why someone would choose NOT to do gestational diabetes testing.

I do know of people who had issues with nausea and went ahead with the gestational diabetes diet and didn't do a "fasting" glucose because they couldn't keep the sugary liquid down. Wonder if perhaps that is what they were talking about?

Either way so incredibly happy for you.

 yes! Over the moon is a good description!  My husband too!  Since it has taken so long, I think we both want to pinch ourselves and sometimes just can't believe it!
