RcdM, so sorry you have GD. Hopefully the next 3 months go by quickly and smoothly for you and all of us.
I have also been trying to limit sweets and I eat lightly sweetened things instead of candy and cake. My pregnancy app (ovia) posts recipes once in a while and my favorite one so far is creme brûlée made with acorn squash instead of your normal creme brûlée stuff. It is very lightly sweetened (except for the caramelized sugar on the top), and since it's all squash it is also good for you.
Here is the recipe if anyone is interested:
Ingredients
2 pounds acorn squash
2/3 cup soy cream
2 teaspoon vanilla
4 tablespoons sugar
1 culinary torch
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, convection mode.
Cut squash in half, remove seeds, brush cuts with oil, place cut side face down and bake for 25-35 minutes.
Remove squash from oven and allow to cool to the touch. Scoop out squash and transfer to a high speed blender. Add the soy cream and vanilla. Puree until creamy.
Meanwhile, have a kettle of hot water ready and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Spoon the squash mixture into ramekins. Place the ramekins onto a baking dish with high sides (i.e. – brownie pan). To prevent the ramekins from sliding, you can put a tea towel into the pan first. Then pour hot water into the pan, halfway up the ramekin’s side, to create a water bath. Bake for 10-15 minutes.
Remove from oven. Sprinkle sugar on top. Hold torch 2 to 3 inches away from the dish. Use the tip of the flame (hottest heat) to caramelize the sugar. Place in refrigerator and serve later with berries.
I couldn't find soy cream so I just used soy milk...
I'm still waiting to meet with someone to get me set up with everything, but I will have to do blood sugar checks 4 times a day and change my diet... no more ice cream and cookies for me! What am I gonna do! 
, but then again I did just hot 3rd tri.
But like you said, maybe it will help you eat healthier. I know should be eating much healthier, too, but its hard to motivate myself. I'm sure you won't be so overwhelmed once you talk to your dietician.
