Gestational Diabetes Mummies

Hi mummies, am a ftm newly diagnosed with gestational diabetes at week 26+. Still getting use to everything (diet and pricking) Could you mummies who have been through or undergoing this condition share your home care experience (diet, readings, after delivery did it go away?). My reading seem to be on higher end of the range 6.5 post 2 hrs.. thanks for your time, really appreciate the effort!
