Brown patch in foot, could it be Gestational Diabetes?

I had a growth scan last week which showed that I had too much amniotic fluid. As this is a symptom of Gestational Diabetes I am due to have the glucose tolerance test on Tuesday.
I wasn't too worried until I woke up this morning to find a brown patch has appeared in my foot. On googling (of course I had to) it looks just like the skin patch diabetics suffer with.

Anyone know if this is a symptom of gestational diabetes or just normal diabetes?
Or had this themselves in pregnancy?

Personally never heard of this happening with gestational diabetes, I had it with DD and my only problem was my sugar levels! When have you got your GTT?

@HJWT Tuesday so not too long to wait to find out for sure.
