Look up and try to stick to a low GI (Glycaemic index) diet as that is likely what they will advise you to do as usually the best way to manage it with diet alone. If this is not possible they will look at medication or insulin to control it.
I got GD at 28 weeks last time but was very borderline and managed to be purely diet controlled. This time I was 0.7 below the limit at 16 weeks and just had another test at 26 weeks which I am 90% sure will be positive.
Good luck!
