Do i need a test for gestational diabetes?

Yes: The american college of obstetrics and gynecology recommends that you take this test sometime between 24-28 weeks. They also recognize that if you are very low risk, you may not necessarily need to take this. Talk to your doctor to see what your risk level is.

Yes: Diabetes screening should be a routine part of prenatal care for all pregnant women- if you are seeing an ob/gyn they should schedule this test midway through your pregnancy. This, of course, assumes you're pregnant. If you're planning pregnancy, there is no test to predict gdm precisely beforehand.
