Not the right test: Insulin levels are not a good marker for gestational diabetes. Talk to you OB about an oral glucose tolerance test. See this site for more info on the topic. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gestational-diabetes/basics/definition/con-20014854

FBS/A1c: Have your OB check a 12 hr. fasting blood sugar, HgbA1c and a 2 hour post prandial blood sugar. Also you will need a modified glucose tolerance test.
