would it be different if you already have hypoglycemia?
The only sign I am aware of, is rapid weight gain. The Dr will monitor you, ask on your next visit if being hypoglacemic will affect your pregnancy or not. It was amazing my youngest really didnt gain much weight, but since she waited so long to seek medical assistace during pregnancy, they did that test and she was almost to the point of needing insulin, they had her taking blood tests all the time and read her readings journal weekly, she did great, we just have to hope that later in life theres no signs of gum disease/damage due to her being so out of control with it before getting it under control. Baby was fine at birth thank god!

I am being tested for gestational diabetes next week. I am considered high risk for developing it because I am over 25 (I am 27), there is a family history of type 2 diabetes, and both my biological grandma & mother developed gestational diabetes during their pregnancies. Now I am paranoid that I have it, and have been consciously watching my carbs & sugars.
I have gained 26 pounds (gradually), and I measured normal at 24 weeks. I am 5’10" and weighed 150 prepregnancy with a very athletic built.
I have been getting comments from people that I am huge and/or I am going to have a big baby. Is showing significantly and my weight gain indicators that I might have gestational diabetes? Any one else been told they are considered high risk for gestational diabetes but didn’t end up getting it?
Thank you for all of your help.
Hey, wasn’t even told I was high risk and I had it. I’m 27, weighed 112 before pregnancy and 140 when I gave birth and I’m 5’3". So I was skinny everywhere except for my belly. I was border line gestational. I had to take a class on how to watch carbs.
Don’t eat anything with carbs the night before the test. if you fail the first one, Eat something like Cheerios the morning of the second test.
When I went to take the class, I was the only skinny prego in there, so there is a possiblitly. Good, luck. I’m sure you will be fine. My son and I are!
