The major complications they say is that the baby will grow bigger and delivery would be tough. However in my case I was put on insulin and metformin immediately. After which sometimes sugar was in control and sometimes it was not. It entirely depends on what you eat. I Use to walk for 1hour daily which Use to really help. Later i was informed by looking at the scan and baby weight that the baby was not getting enough blood supply hence his weight was less. So was told to eat lot of food with protein. Once baby gained 2.5kg they said it would be better to get the delivery done. At 38 weeks my delivery was done .. guess what it was a normal delivery and baby was perfectly normal. His sugar was monitored for three days and it was normal . As they suspect once delivery is done the baby might have low sugar.  So in short there is no issues with GD, you can still deliver healthy baby but insulin is a must to be taken. Once delivery happens keep a watch on Sugar level .. my GD turned to type 2 ..</blockquote>
