Gestational diabetes pregnancy at 27 weeks 4 days .

First time sharing my thoughts.... I am first time mum to be. Took my glucose tolerance test and result was bad :( before fasting 4.2 mmol/L after 2 hrs 11.7 mmol/L Feeling really emotional overwhelming. I thought all is well. I did not gain much from the day one 54kg till now 59kg 159 tall. And now : Dr recommended putting me on a strict diet for 1 week and checking glucometer for 3 meals so pricking 6 times - before and after meal . Just want to hear other mums out there how did u all manage when u found out this? Am just feeling really down...... .........
