No. Gestational diabetes usually shows up at around 28 weeks of pregnancy.  In some people, it may show up earlier or later. We usualy repeat the test at frequent intervals depending on your risk of getting gestational diabetes eg those with prior pcos, overweight/obesity, gestational diabetes in previous pregnancy etc.
