Gestational diabetes

As per others reply, GD is hormone related. I had GD and was asked to do diet control and prick myself twice a week for glucose readings. I ate my usual meals and readings were ok. Indulged in 1 or 2 cheat meal/drinks on days that i didnt have to prick. Because my readings were ok, i was discharged from the GDM clinic at 36 weeks. Gave birth, did OGTT 6weeks later and results came back normal.
