How do i know if i have diabetes in pregnancy?

Question

My gtt test is coming up next week and there is diabetes in my family so im a bit tense about it. Are there any signs i should already be noticing or it only shows in the test? feeling thoda nervous honestly.

There are usually no clear symptoms, which is why doctors routinely do the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) around 24-28 weeks. Follow your doctor's test schedule strictly.

Please don't try to guess by symptoms. Only your gynac can diagnose gestational diabetes with proper blood tests, so definitely get it checked by them.

Arey behn, you won't know just by looking. The doctor will give you a sweet drink and test your blood after some hours. Do get it done on time.

At my hospital, the lab team automatically scheduled my GD test during my second trimester check-up. Just ask your hospital staff about the glucose tolerance test at your next visit.

My saas thought eating too many sweets caused it, but actually it's hormonal. You will know only after the glucose syrup test at the clinic, so don't skip that appointment.

My mother said to watch out if I felt too thirsty or had to pee too often. But I trusted my doctor and did the glucose test on time to be sure.
