Gestational diabetes: How to prevent?

I am at risk of getting gestational diabetes. But I cannot possibly cut out all carbs during my pregnancy, right? Any advice, mummies? What did you do to prevent it?

i don't think u can prevent it per se, but eating healthily does help in managing it. i had mild GD (nothing much i could do cos it's genetic i think) so went on controlled diet. ate low GI food as much as possible, full cream fresh milk, brown rice, multigrain bread. gave birth and 6 weeks later miraculously cured of GD.
