Hi, I Am 35 Weeks Pregnant. I Got Too Much
Question: Hi, I am 35 weeks pregnant. i got too much of white discharge last week. I got my AFI Doppler scan done on 19th of this month. in that baby weight is 2.65kg. My doctor felt that baby weight is little high. So advised me to take OGCT 50gm glucose test non fasting test. I took the test after lunch and evening around 5:30pm. The value is 177mg/DL which is high. The fasting 75gm glucose OCGT test was performed on 10th October, 2018 which is around 25 week of pregnancy(my last menstrual cycle is April 20, 2018) is completely normal. kindly advise if there is any complications with this diabetes. I am so scared to see the report today. As in internet I read that complications will develop for baby and I will get the diabetes also post delivery. kindly suggest.
Brief Answer:
Can be controlled with medicines and dietary control.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and understand your health concerns.
The abnormal glucose tolerance test at 35 weeks can cause an increased body weight of the baby. Since the test at 25 weeks was normal. it seems diabetes has developed recently. You need to have proper control of the blood glucose levels after consulting your gynaecologist.
This will prevent excessive weight gain of the baby. Diabetes will come back to normal after the delivery. There is nothing to worry.
The chances of developing diabetes later in life are there but can be prevented with proper dietary control.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

The OGCT levels are slightly high. You can start with a dietary control and start with medicines like insulin if needed after consulting your gynecologist. A repeat test is not needed.
