Is this gestational diabetes?

Patient's question:

My girlfriend is currently 15 weeks pregnant. Recently, she has been feeling dizzy and has lost a few hundred grams in weight. I would like to consult a doctor to see if this could be gestational diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, there are two types of diabetes. One is diabetes diagnosed before early pregnancy, known as "early pregnancy diabetes split." The other is diabetes with normal or potential impaired glucose tolerance that occurs only during pregnancy or is confirmed during pregnancy, known as "gestational diabetes." 80. A diabetic pregnant woman refers to a pregnant woman who should undergo a glucose screening at 24 to 28 weeks of early pregnancy. Diagnosis: 1. Fasting blood glucose ≥ 5.1 millimoles per liter can directly diagnose gestational diabetes.
