How is Gestational Diabetes diagnosed? Diagnosis is made after a special test. A blood test is carried out before and after a glucose drink is given. Usually, this test is performed when you are about six months pregnant. It is recommended that all pregnant women be tested for diabetes between 26th and 28th week of pregnancy. If you get gestational diabetes, it is best that you are cared for by a doctor who specialises in looking after pregnant women with diabetes. Treatment The treatment is based on healthy eating and regular exercise such as walking. Guide for healthy eating: 
 Eat a wide variety of food 
 Eat regular meals and snacks such as, three moderately sized meals and three small snacks spread evenly over the day 
 Include carbohydrate foods (starch) in each meal and snack such as, multigrain bread, cereals, legumes, pasta, rice, fruit and vegetables 
 Avoid foods and drinks containing large amounts of sugar 
 Use low fat cooking methods and choose low fat products 
 Drink plenty of water 


A healthy eating plan will help you and your baby. Talking to a person who specialises in healthy eating such as a Dietitian is recommended. Ask your doctor to arrange this for you. It is important that women check that their diabetes is well controlled by doing blood tests at home each day. Your doctor or diabetes nurse will teach you how to do these tests. Aim for a blood glucose level below 7 mmol/l two hours after meals. If healthy eating and regular exercise cannot control gestational diabetes, insulin injections will be necessary for the rest of the pregnancy. This is safe for you and your baby. Tablets for treating diabetes are not used in pregnancy. As long as there are no other problems, the pregnancy can continue normally ending with a healthy baby. How will Gestational Diabetes affect my baby? If diabetes is not well looked after, it may cause problems such as a large baby, which makes delivery more difficult. The baby may also have low glucose levels for a short time after birth. If any problems occur, the hospital will know how to care for you and your baby.
