Gestational diabetes

Jr
So today I found out I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and I'm terrified of what's to come in the next ten weeks! And after hoping it goes away after pregnancy!! I have tried to eat healthy and food hasn't been sounding good to start with so now I'm struggling even more with food! Any advice on what to expect and so forth? I already had a friend scare me about having to go on bed rest which I don't see how that helps with reducing blood sugar levels.
