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 😢

Hello mummy, i have diabetes before pregnancy. When I got pregnant, i was placed under high risk care. I felt a lot of pressure as well because the doctor kept telling me it’s a risk to me and my baby. Although my glucose levels before pregnancy has been good, ideal and stable, according to my diabetic doctor. Right when I found out I was pregnant, i was placed on weekly home glucose testing with the glucometer. I was also placed on insulin to control my glucose levels. Everytime i go back for follow up with the diabetic doctor and gynae at the same appointment , they would see my glucose chart. any single point that I have a slightly higher glucose level, i am questioned about what i eat and warned about the risk again. I feel guilty but at the same time horrible that I cannot even have 1 meal out of the whole week to cheat. When i controlled my diet, including changing the type of food i eat, finding all the low carbs food and whatnot, even if I have one day that is just 0.1 point higher, the doctor would pick it out.
