What is gestational diabetes and how will I be tested for it?

Gestational diabetes is a disorder where the hormones produced by the placenta inhibits the insulin efficiency of the mother, causing high blood sugar levels. Usually, a very sweet liquid will be given and you will have to drink it. One hour later, your urine will be tested to see how well your body processes the sugar. http://pregnant.sg/articles/gestational-diabetes-gdm-during-pregnancy/
