What is the diagnosis of gestational diabetes?

Question

Asked for Female, 28 Years

My best friend was in the 14th week of her pregnancy when she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I’m concerned for her and the baby’s health and was wondering how does it really happen? She was perfectly fit and ate well too! Can a medical practitioner tell me the diagnosis of gestational diabetes?
