Gdm FTM experience

Hi, FTM mummy here. Just recently got diagnosed with Gdm. Was wondering how will I know of my diet controlled is good and if Doctor will put me on medication or insulin? I have been checking my sugar level every day and sometimes they do Spike. Having my first doctor checkup soon and was hoping for good news

I had gdm 2nd pregnancy and now again on 3rd. I monitor my own diet after ogtt. My first trimester got me taking candies or sour plums n sweet drinks to help with morning sickness. That I believe spiked the sugar levels up. But in 2nd trimester I'm a plain water and fruit person. Normal small meals. my 2nd was born healthy at 35wks with no diabetes. I hope i will do well with the current pregnancy too. Do check ur levels to assure yourself ur doin well mummy, and manage the diet too. All the best to us.
