Default I found out late that I have gestational diabetes. (35 weeks) I'm worried about my...

...baby and me. Someone Help! This is my 2nd pregnancy to last past the 1st trimester. I had no problems with my daughter. I was overweight when I got pregnant, but healthy, no signs of diabetes. Only distant relatives in my family had it, and only 1 or 2 people in my husband's family. As soon as the Doctor discovered it, I was admitted into the hospital. I was there for 6 days, no IVs, no regular meds, just a fetal monitor 3 times a day, a special diet and insulin only if my blood sugar went really high (which only happened about 4 times). They did an amnio, but they discovered she wasn't ready yet, and discharged me, with no special meds, just to stay on the diet and check my sugar. I'm very scared. They were in such a hurry to get me into the hospital, and then i just sat for 6 days. The Doctors informed me of all the risks. (stillbirth, that she could be have diabetes, that i could keep the diabetes, jaundice, damage to her kidneys, etc.) Could someone just give me some help/advice???
