Fast Facts:

  • Gestational diabetes occurs when a woman has high blood sugar only during her pregnancy.1
  • Gestational diabetes typically occurs at the end of the second trimester or during the third trimester.1
  • Proper treatment of gestational diabetes will reduce the risk of pregnancy complications, including premature delivery.2
