Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy. It affects how your cells use sugar (glucose) and can cause high blood sugar, which can affect your pregnancy and your baby’s health. Unlike type 1 and type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes typically resolves after childbirth. However, it increases the mother’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future. Managing gestational diabetes involves healthy eating, regular exercise, and sometimes medication to keep blood sugar levels in check.
Symptoms of Gestational Diabetes?
Gestational diabetes often doesn’t cause noticeable symptoms.eased risk of infections, particularly bladder infections
It’s important for pregnant women to undergo screening for gestational diabetes, as the symptoms can be mild or similar to typical pregnancy symptoms.
Causes of Gestational Diabetes
The exact cause of gestational diabetes is not known, but there are several contributing factors:
Hormonal Changes
During pregnancy, the placenta produces hormones that can lead to insulin resistance. As a result, the body needs more insulin to keep blood sugar levels normal.
Previous Gestational Diabetes
Women who had gestational diabetes in a previous pregnancy are at a higher risk in subsequent pregnancies.
Weight
Being overweight or obese before pregnancy increases the likelihood of developing gestational diabetes.
Genetics
Family history of diabetes may increase risk of gestational diabetes
Age
Women over 25 years of age are at higher risk.
Diagnosis and Tests
Initial Screening
Around 24 to 28 weeks of pregnancy, women are screened for gestational diabetes using a glucose tolerance test.
Glucose Tolerance Test
The test involves fasting overnight, drinking a glucose solution containing 75 grams of anhydrous glucose, and then having blood samples taken at fasting, one hour, and two hours post-consumption.
Diagnostic Criteria
If the fasting blood sugar level is less than 92 mg/dL, it’s normal. If the one-hour post-glucose level is more than
180 mg/dL, or the two-hour level is more than 153 mg/dL, it indicates gestational diabetes.

This is the busted place in Indore I have ever visited. Staff was too rude dr also not professional They are just there to empty your pockets. I have visited with my father for regular diabetes test and bp and diabetes both was normal but dr still recommended for different test also force to do the all test from there own lab only . Dr fee 1600 Test 3020 The same test charge on other repotted labs are within 1000. Still if you have extra money you can visit to this place.
Very good cooperative staff and doctors are competent and have very good behaviour and clearly explaining the things and listen patients problems very passionally.
I visited this hospital for Dr. Sunil jain consultation. What a pathetic person this men is.
He charged 1200 and made us sit to his assistant for 15-20 min Then this men came to us and now he asked assistant whats the problem Here the fun starts 😄 this assistant who was talking to us for past 15-20 minutes wasn't able explain to doctor anything. Doctor sunil got angry over him and asked to him mere bina yaha kya karoge tum log chalo tumhe sikhata hoon. 😂😂😂😂😂.
He stood up and asked him to explain a diagram again junior was silent
