gestational diabetes will go away after the pregnancy ends, it's a warning sign that she might be diabetic later in life though. i know toxemia/pre-eclampsyia is serious but is usually avoided through induced labor. they'll probably keep monitoring the protein in her urine and have her monitor her blood sugar. it's not fun but it's best for her and the baby.
It can be which is why she is being sent to the hospital. She obviously has a good, competent OB/GYN - be thankful. All these things can be harmful to her and the baby.
