I found this over on MedlinePlus
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000896.htm

Gestational diabetes is usually diagnosed during the 24th - 28th weeks of pregnancy. All pregnant women should receive an oral glucose tolerance test during this time period to screen for the condition.


I don't know if it can be diagnosed sooner or not... but in my humble opinion (i'm not a doctor) if it can be diagnosed sooner that's a good thing. I'd rather have it caught sooner than later.


Best wishes,
Abbie
