Gestational Diabetes

I just got the call today that I have gestational diabetes. I’m kind of freaking out about this because she said it could growth issues and affect my ability to have a vaginal delivery. I am terrified of having a c section. I’m also nervous about checking my sugar all the time and pricking my finger and all that. Does anyone have or has had this? Were you able to have a vaginal delivery? any words of advice would be greatly appreciated.
