stress because of GDM

i'm super stressed. i'm tired physically and mentally. 33weeks now, with borderline GDM. nowadays i eat lesser and lesser, i dont eat junk food, i eliminate sugary drinks of all forms. Its a must for me to exercise before meals and after meals. for my blood sugar level be okay. when i get too tired and fall asleep after doing housechores, wakeup check my 2hour blood sugar level its high 😭 i'm feeling so stress i dont feel like eating anything at all. everything i consume is not good enough. i just wanna cry cause thrid trimester is already so very hard with the backaches, the sleepyness,tiredness,anxiousness. i dont even know what to do anymore 😢

I had gdm (turns out i am diabetic) at wk 20 test and felt i was suffering then. I was stress at first and over time, i felt better. I dun eat rice n just take the sides…

For me yes i omit rice n eat other kinds of carbs.. i tink i had quite often yong tau foo 😅 some cheat meals i ate some portion. But i could control that time (although i shoot some of the times as well). I had to monitor my blood glucose during my pregnancy.. weekly i have to report to my diabetes doc n my gynae would ask me on this as well whether i am controlling well.
