- Persistent during pregnancy
- Diagnosed through glucose tests
- Requires proper monitoring and management
- Can affect both mother and baby if unmanaged

In many cases, gestational diabetes may not show obvious symptoms. However, some common signs include:
- Increased thirst
- Frequent urination
- Fatigue and low energy
- Blurred vision
- Increased hunger
