Gestational diabetes diagnosed but baby weight and BMI normal

Hi, i was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes last week, now is week 28. My private gynae didnt mention to do finger prick, just say control carbs and sugar intake. Im worried how to monitor if dont finger prick and no dietician referred to as well. For GD, do we need to see endocrine doc? Any suggestions what i should do now besides eating healthy and exercise? Am quite worried.

I'm from govt hospitals. They are very strict. I only failed by 0.4 on the post 1 hr glucose test and they asked me to prick fingers to keep track. I opt out of dietician as it's optional. If you are worried, just buy the accu check instant glucose meter yourself to track. I think it's good to keep track also, at least I know what spike up my blood sugar now. White rice is really the worst.

im a FTM and really worried that it will cause harm to my baby but am trying to control diet and monitor blood sugar 3 days a week.

i have GD and on insulin. yeah my baby weight is normal. its best to get the accu check instant for u to track. its better that way. i find difficult to control cause im always hungry but along the way with the help of insulin it helps abit..

hope all is going well w u so far :) can i check whats the approx cost for insulin? hopefully this can be cleared post partum as i seen posts of mums who still cant clear this diabetes post 6 mths and turn prediabetic or diabetes. for now im trying not to overthink and focus on baby first.
