Yes, it appears that you do have gestational diabetes. The doctor will talk to you about watching carbohydrates and no, ice cream the night before should not have anything to do with sugar in the urine unless something was wrong. It is possible that your doctor may want to deliver you a bit early due to the diabetes and the baby may need to be in the NICU for blood tests for 24 hours.There is an increased risk of high insulin production and thus hypoglycemia. Ask all these question to your doctor and good luck for a strong healthy baby.

You body has "outgrown" it's ability to produce insulin. If your body was working normally, there would be no glucose in your urine. The glucose "spilling" into the urine shows that you have developed gestational diabetes. The good news is that if you continue to follow the proper dietary restrictions and KEEP your blood sugars in the normal range (go buy a meter...) then you should have no problems. You're a nurse -- you KNOW what to do. So do it! After you deliver, you need to continue to work to bring your body weight back to close to "normal". Stay in contact with your doctor specifically for this reason. Gestational diabetes often takes several weeks to go away after delivery, so you need to continue treatment for at least a month. If you bring your weight back to "normal", the diabetes should subside in a month or less. if you STILL have high blood sugar after 30 days, you need to be tested again to see if it is possible that your gestational diabetes has progressed into Type 2 Diabetes.<br><b>References : </b><br> Simply put, yes, you have gestational diabetes.
