Theresa has developed blood sugar issues associated with her pregnancy. Which endocrine disorder was Theresa most likely diagnosed with?

Answer
A
type 1 diabetes
B
hypothyroidism
C
hyperthyroidism
D
gestational diabetes

Explanation

Blood sugar problems that first develop during pregnancy are most commonly diagnosed as gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is not specific to pregnancy, and thyroid disorders affect thyroid hormone levels rather than blood sugar in this way. Therefore, the correct choice is gestational diabetes.
