Im glad I don't have diabetes just gestational diabetes and i am trying very hard to control my sugars and it seems to be working thankfully. I am trying my hardest not to think about it. Only 50 days left :) and i hope my son is healthy that's all i'm worried about.

Don't stress and don't worry. It took me about a week and a half to adjust to the new diet. The first week or two you will lose weight and that is very common. I was relieved once I attended the GD class and found out what all I could and could not have. To my surprise, I was still able to enjoy the foods I love, just have to watch portion control and moderation of those things. You will be fine though. Good luck and best wishes!
