Advice please. I am type 1 and daughter is now pregnant and gestational diabetes had been mentioned to her as a possibility. Is this more likely because I am type 1 and when would it occur if she does get it ?
 
My daughter was also considered higher risk because of our family history of T2. She didn't develop gestational D in either of her pregnancies. The glucose tolerance test will be a bit unpleasant (apparently the stuff tastes awful and the sugar rush isn't pleasant). The term 'higher risk' does not mean 'inevitable', so try not to worry.
 
Thank you for that I will tell my daughter and come back with any more questions. 🙂
