Q: gestational diabetes

I'm 29 +5 weeks pregnant and found out today I have tested positive for gestational diabetes.
I've cried all afternoon..i have so many questions that can't be answered until I meet the diabetes team on Thursday.
I have had 2 good pregnancies and deliveries. But this pregnancy seems to have everything going pear shaped. (Low iron, low thyroid, SPD & now gestational diabetes.
Can anyone please help set my mind at ease a little...
What does this mean for my baby? Is she likely to need care? Will I be induced? If so how early and will my baby be Ok?
I'm so stressed :-(

Don’t panic a lot of women have gestational dibeties
They will monitor you cans the baby closely normal before they jump to insulin they will
Put you on a carb restisted diet try to avoid anything that breaks down into sugar like white bleached flour,pasta,breads, I believe you can have wheat pasta and if you want sugar try trivia or stevia
It will be ok
