Hi, I am 28 wks pregnant and just got tested for gestational diabetes. The result came back at 150mg. I have to come back Monday to take the 4 hrs test to confirm if I ave diabetes. Can you tell me if I'm at high risk. I don't eat a lot of sweet and gain 22 pounds so far. Please let me know. Thank you
Dear madam I understand your concern. During pregnancy time to feed your baby the body will change the hormones in favor of baby to deliver more glucose to baby. In some individuals who are having mild insulin resistance, this changes will lead to imbalance of hormones and lead to raise of sugars. But nothing to worry about this gestational diabetes will become normal after delivery. but its very important to control your sugars during pregnancy for a healthy child. uncontrolled sugars during pregnancy will lead to more weight gain in baby and difficulty in normal delivery.
I suppose I have given the desired response if you have any other query please write back. Otherwise please accept & rate my answer. I will appreciate your review about my answer. Best Regards. Dr Vamsi Krishna Consultant Diabetologist Apollo Hospitals
