Your doctor will probably screen you for gestational diabetes between your 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy. If you have certain risk factors (see Who's at Risk? below), your doctor may opt to screen you sooner. During your screening, you'll drink a sugary liquid, then take a blood test. If your blood sugar levels appear high, you'll need to take a longer test, during which you'll drink more liquid and your blood sugar will be tested several times to determine whether you have gestational diabetes.
In most circumstances, you'll learn you have gestational diabetes as the result of routine screening during your pregnancy. If your blood sugar tests high, you'll likely be asked to come in for an appointment promptly. You'll also have more-frequent regular prenatal appointments to monitor the course of your pregnancy. When you make your appointment, ask if you need to fast for blood work or do anything else to prepare for diagnostic tests. 2  Write down symptoms you're having, including those that may seem unrelated to gestational diabetes. 3  You may not have noticeable symptoms, but it's good to keep a log of anything unusual you notice.
