Often GD isn't tested for until 26 or more weeks. If you are in a high risk group then perhaps you will be tested earlier. GD is high sugar levels. If you are GD then you should by rights be monitoring you blood sugar levels (BSL)  at the least 3 times a day. Also you should have been informed of what foods to avoid and what is ok to eat.  I was informed that carbs are ok in proportion. You also must eat 5 small meals spaced evenly through the day. Low GI foods are great. Talk to your dr if you have GD you may need insulin and more intensive care or monitoring. It's not something to rely on half guesses with. Good luck.

gest diabetes means ur sugar is too high not too low. Thats why u arent supposed to have lots of carbs or sugary stuff

You get really shaky, a headache and woozy and you also feel lightheaded if you dont eat after while your sugar will drop and you will pass out. Gest diabetes is not something ti be taken lightly ( which im not saying u r) . I just me if its not under control you can get really sick
