Gestational diabetes and hypoglycemic?

I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes about 2 weeks ago and have been monitoring my sugar levels for the last few days, since I got my meter. Anyway, over the last week, since I've started trying to follow the dietary guidelines laid out for me by my hospital, then the dietitian, I've had a few times when I was late eating and got hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) symptoms. Just fyi, I get extremely hungry, shaky, emotional and have trouble focusing. I looked it up tonight and those are all symptoms of hypoglycemia. I'm not on meds, so I'm trying to figure out just what's going on. Any ideas?
