glucose test?

Question

currently 23 weeks, very nervous to get my glucose test. does being plus size automatically mean that I will have GD? i have already sadly gained 20 pounds and I don't know how. 😢

Answer

No, gestational diabetes has to do with the placenta. I gained 90 lbs my last pregnancy and did not have gestational diabetes.

Answer

Nope I’m overweight and passed my test with flying colors don’t stress it ☺️

Answer

No!im over weight and my blood sugar was perfect

Answer

You have to worry about GD if you do not eat healthy because being overweight there is an increased risk. There isn’t a lot of information on what causes GD but GD is primarily caused by diet and lifestyle. If you are worried about it you can have an early glucose test and change up your diet.

Answer

I don’t have it. My Dr. said I’m gaining to much weight and did another blood test for it and I’m still good.

Answer

No just because you are plus size doesn’t mean you will have it. I was plus size with my first pregnancy and I passed the glucose test. I’m 24 weeks pregnant now and I failed my 1 hour and 3 hour test. I didn’t fail bad enough to need medication they just said I was borderline and it can be controlled with diet and exercise. Good luck girl! I’m sure everything will be fine

Answer

No my BMI is over 40 while pregnant and I did not have gestational diabetes my last pregnancy.

Answer

You can be a skinny girl and get gestational diabetes or heavy and get it. It’s how your placenta processes sugar. Nothing you can do to change that if you have it but manage your sugar levels.

Answer

Nope. I already have insulin resistance and take Metformin due to PCOS, and I passed my glucose test. And I have a terrible diet. 
Being overweight puts you at higher risk, but that doesn’t mean you’ll get it.

Answer

Nope. I gained 60 lbs with both pregnancies and barely lost any between them. I haven't had GD with either pregnancy.
