Gestational vs. type 2

Just got some frustrating news and wanted to see if anyone had anything similar. I am 9 weeks with first baby. I had abnormal glucose level following glucola drink. So had the 3 hour test today. I received an email from my dr saying I failed and have diabetes. Asked if it was gestational and she said it Was too early for gestational and that I have type 2. Needless to say I’m freaking out a little. I don’t eat terribly, nor too much and I’m a fairly active person. Maybe 15-20lb over my ideal weight but nothing extreme. I’ve gotten screened for diabetes every year at my annual appointment because it runs in my family.

Is this truly Type 2? And chance it can be gestational.... or maybe just pre-diabetes? It just doesn’t add up to me
