Your patient has gestational diabetes. When did she get this condition?

First 15 weeks of pregnancy
First 20 weeks of pregnancy
Last 30 weeks of pregnancy
Last 20 weeks of pregnancy

Explanation

Answer - D - Gestational diabetes usually starts during the last 20 weeks of pregnancy when placental hormones cause an increased resistance to insulin and a decreased glucose tolerance. Pre-hospital management of a diabetic emergency is the same with a pregnant woman as for one suffering from hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
