Gestational diabetes was first diagnosed during pregnancy. In most other types of diabetes, gestational diabetes affects the way cells use sugar. Treatment of diabetes can lead to hyperglycaemia, which can affect pregnancy and the health of the baby. There are concerns about pregnancy complications, but the good news is. However, if you have gestational diabetes, you are at increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Changes in blood sugar should be tested more often.
