Can anyone explaine this???

So it has been a week since I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes...I started off right away following the special diet...first I thought the least amount of carbs and sugar I ate the better...turned out I turned my body over to starvation mode which put my sugar out of wack...then after it was explained to me by a diatition that I had to have the set amount of carbs to keep my body out of the starvation mode I measured and followed to a T...still my sugar was out of wack and the hunger pains in my stomache just wouldn't go away...so I decided to try one more thing...keeping the sugars out of my diet still but eating my carbs like I would as a pregnant non diabetic and test my sugars...wait a minute what is this my sugar levels were back to where they should be...???...don't know how to explain this but I guess I might just be lucky...I go back to my doc. on tues. so I will explaine everything to him and see what I am suposed to do and keep you posted!!!
