Please don't beat yourself up about the high readings. It is wonderful to hear that you are in good health - sometimes GD isn't necessarily a direct result of triggers like weight and diet.
Some people just have altered insulin resistance and when the hormones of pregnancy kick in, it all goes a little pear shaped. Hopefully, with your good health track record, you will lose all gestational diabetes symptoms in the hours/days following your baby's birth. Quite often, as soon as the placenta is delivered, things will get back on track pretty quickly.
I'm guessing that the colour not changing on the stick means that there was no glucose detected in your urine. That is good - as is a fasting glucoose of 4.6 - that's really good!
I don't think that chocolate would be doing too much harm - but then again, different foods affect different people in different ways!
Well done for your great diet. Self testing will help you to see what might make your blood sugars rise - it will be a case of seeing what works and what doesn't. Also, your ob may (or may not) send you off to see a diabetes educator which will help you out immensely.
