I'm also confused, were you diabetic before you got pregnant? Why do they think you're diabetic if you haven't been tested yet? Because what you're talking about is your glucose test and it's to see if you have gestational diabetes. It's completely normal and nothing to freak out about. Everyone gets this done.
If they think you're diabetic you'll be labled high risk. The glucose test isn't that bad and Gestational diabetes is definitely managable. I've had it with now both of my pregnancies. Most of the time you can manage your glucose levels with a change in your diet! It's not that bad I promise, and baby will be fine. They monitor you as high risk to keep an eye on you and baby and your sugar levels for the reason of your pregnancy since GD can make baby grow a little bigger. But thats IF you have it, and if you do it's not the end of the world, you'll just have to learn to test your sugar levels and they'll send you to a dietician to help you make changes to your diet to keep keep your sugar levels normal.
You just need to follow a strict diet and test your blood sugar like they tell you to. I was high risk too but was able to control my GD with diet alone, no meds, and lost the baby weight very quickly after having her. The plus side to being high risk is you’ll get SO many more ultrasound pics because they monitor you/baby much more closely. ☺️

The glucose test is routine during pregnancy— we all go through it. No need to worry ☺️
