I failed mine too, so I know that sinking feeling! The good news is a slight fail doesn't mean you have gestational diabetes for sure, sometimes it's just that one test result, and they'll do a longer test next week to confirm. In the meantime, just eat normally but try to keep your meals balanced with protein and fibre, avoid sugary drinks, and don't stress yourself out too much because that won't help either. Next week they'll likely do a 3-hour glucose tolerance test at the hospital or polyclinic, and if that comes back normal you're good to go. If it does come back with GD, your doctor will refer you to a dietitian and you'll manage it with diet first, sometimes insulin if needed, but plenty of mums go through this and deliver healthy babies. Try not to worry until you have the full picture next week.
