Gestational diabetes is usually diagnosed during routine screening. It often does not cause any symptoms at all.
However, high blood glucose (hyperglycaemia) can cause some symptoms, including:
- being thirsty
- having a dry mouth
- needing to urinate frequently
- tiredness
- recurrent infections, such as thrush (a yeast infection)
- blurred vision
See the topic about Hyperglycaemia for more information about this condition.
