I have had GD with all 4 pregnancies and on insulin for 3. My last follow up appointment was when DD was 6 weeks old.. I wonder why they told you you need to do the test for 5 years..

As soon as bub was out my sugar levels were fine. and the gross sweet drink thing came back clear as well.. I guess they realized mine was simply GD. Although I have been told it is possible for me to develop Diabetes later in life so be aware of that
