Anyone fail their glucose tests ? And got diagnosed with diabetes? And did it go away after your baby was born?

I’ve had GD twice. It went away after the birth of my first. I’m still pregnant with my second and due very soon.

I had gestational diabetes and yes it went away. Got hypertension instead.

4

I had it with 3rd and recently with 6th. Yes goes away then you have annual fasting bloods as more chance getting type 2

I did in 2021 with my 3 year old. I was on insulin 3x a day. They didn’t even test me after he was born to see if my blood sugar was fine. They said that as soon as the baby is born the diabetes goes away.

My husband had a Dove bar waiting for me as soon as I got wheeled to a recovery room! Had it with baby #1, controlled it with testing and diet. Learned so much, started reading all labels & knowing what to look for that I didn’t have it with baby #2. I try to especially watch what I drink—fruit juice will get you—and eat in hopes of never getting Type 2 diabetes. With American food it takes effort though. Always got a lot of exercise, so that helps a lot too.
