My elder sister is 29 years old, 150 cm tall, into her ninth month of pregnancy. she had a sugar test done during her first trimester, which revealed her blood sugar to be 95 mg/dl. My doctor asked her to go for a 75 g GTT at 6 months and the readings were: fasting sugar - 90 mg/dl, 1hour: 144 mg/dl and 2 hour: 114 mg/dl. At the beginning of pregnancy, her weight was 62 Kg and now she weigh 72Kg. A random sugar test at 32 weeks reported blood sugar to be 105 mg/dl. she continued with her normal food cravings, which were a little high on sugar levels since she mostly enjoyed eating sweets. She wants to know whether or not she suffering from gestational diabetes?

    Hi davisbk, one of my friend who is a doctor said that You do not have gestational diabetes till now as per all test reports. There are very little chances of developing it in the last 4 week, however, you should continue to have your sugar levels monitoring during this period. Gaining 10 kg is on the higher side and because of this, you must limit the intake of saturated fats as well as free sugars such as fruit juices and sugar added to tea and coffee. Taking a whole fruit with the roughage would be a better option.

    Gestational diabetes is also diagnosed based on plasma glucose values measured during the OGTT. Blood glucose levels are checked four times during the test. If your blood glucose levels are above normal at least twice during the test, you have gestational diabetes. Below shows the results for the OGTT for gestational diabetes.

    Fasting: 95 mg/dL or higher
    At 1 hour: 180 mg/dL or higher
    At 2 hours: 155 mg/dL or higher
    At 3 hours: 140 mg/dL or higher

    So your sister does not have Gestational diabetes.
