When I was pregnant my blood sugar was high and they call that “stationary diabetic” because it happened with the pregnancy, but what I was told by my Dr is that I will most likely become a diabetic. He said some people stay that way after they delivered and some don’t, He also said you do not have to be a diabetic if you maintain a certain weight, watch your diet and exercise I should be fine. I was young and I didn’t not really understand what that was so I went by my life and I became a type 2 at 45.😩
