This is called gestational diabetes
This test checks and screens your body how your body reacts to a 75 gram glucose
This test indicates that you have a predisposition to develop diabetes in pregnancy or later on in life
You need to follow a diabetic diet and walk 45 minutes 5 days in a week
You need to monitor your sugar levels every 10 days maintaining fasting sugars less than 95 and post lunch sugars less than 140
