I hope it goes well however....the further along you get in pregnancy, the more likely you are to have diabetes at the end which can cause complications. If your numbers are high and close to lower  cut off, they may do another Gluclose in 2-4 weeks.

Start eating high protien fiids and cut out sugar and anything high in sugar. Try to stick eith low carb now veggies, and beans as starches, Stay clear of processed foods, pasta, bread etc. ALWAYS eat some protien with the carbs you do eat.

It is only for 2 months....Babies with gestational diabetes grow too big and run out of amniotic fluids which cause pre term birth etc. Big babies have to be born c section....lots of problems if you don't take care of self

I thought I was doing well with my diet but it's hard to cut out all sugar because I'm a pastry chef and have to taste my product before I put it out. But thank you for all the advice I will definitely do what you said
