Hi ladies! I'm 8 weeks 4 days and my doctor gave me the one hour test at 7 weeks 3 days because I'm obese according to my BMI. I failed that test by 3 points (143).

Yesterday I took the three hour test. My baseline was one point over normal (96) and my first hour blood draw was 17 over (197). The second hour blood draw was normal (147) and the third was actually low (62).

They said that since I failed two of the blood draws, they are diagnosing me with GD. My question is, what does this mean? Do I have to cut out carbs? Cereal and other carbs are literally the only things that don't make me sick right now. How will this impact me and my baby? Does this put me at risk for miscarriage or preterm labor? The nurses at my obgyn were all too busy to talk today, so I'm stuck with little to no information, emotional, and scared. It doesn't help that my hubby is away at meetings this week either.....

Any insights, advice, etc. would be amazing.
