Gestational diabetes: Gestational diabetes is diabetes that didn't exist before the pregnancy and goes away after the high hormone levels of pregnancy fall back to normal after delivery.This requires repeat testing at about the time of your 6 week post-partum check-up to know for sure.It does increase the risk of developing diabetes later in life so it's a good idea to watch your diet and weight let your doctors know.

Gestational diabetes: You have gestational diabetes which is diabetes brought on by the stresses of pregnancy on your system. You are at higher risk to develop diabetes after your pregnancy later in life but you may be able to delay that with proper diet and exercise and maintaining proper weight. gestational diabetes puts your pregnancy at higher risk so make sure you follow with your doctor closely during pregnancy.
