I was told I’d need a test 3 months afterwards but they don’t do anything before that
You need to be re tested around 6-13 weeks after birth and if that is normal you should get tested every 1-3 years after due to now having increased risk of having type 2 diabetes.
Contact the GP and ask for a blood test to check for it. You're supposed to have this at around 12 weeks. They also recommended having one at a year pp too but I never had that one and didn't have GD with my second x
Call you GP and ask for the blood test. My midwife said often these appointments fall off the radar, so defs call and get it booked in

You are supposed to get a blood test 13 weeks pp, I had to call and chase my gp for this. After that, I was told that you get an annual blood test for 5 years.
