Gestational diabetes is unique for pregnancy alone and for history part of it, it comes from personal history ALONE.
The most suitable (diagnosis) History code is V13.29 . even 13.7 I thought of but IT IS PERINATAL problems; I have a hesitance to include the prenatal problem which canbe for mothe ror fetus too. But the 'disorder' diagnosis seems to be more suitable for gestational diabetes, or 12.2 endocrine disorders personal history but this is not more specifically attributed to pregnancy condition.
My preference is for 13.29
