Gestational Diabetes

Hi all. I am hoping someone can advise me....
I was diagnosed with GD at 32 weeks gestation. I am currently 38 weeks pregnant and have controlled it by diet and exercise. My original knowledge of the condition was that it goes away shortly after the baby is born. I have recently heard that it does not. Can someone lighten me on the situation. I am very nervous about having to deal with the condition forever. Has anyone had GD and had it remain after the baby is born or the opposite? Please HELP!

Hi there and welcome, mine went away, they said it might come back later in life.

I had it will all 3 pregnancies and was on insulin for the last 2. Mine went away straight after the birth. I was tested for 24 hours after to make sure things were fine but I didn't need insulin anymore. There is a chance it can come back later in life in you and your child but if you both watch what you eat and maintain a healthy lifestyle then your risk is the same as anyone elses
