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 😢

Hi mummy, don’t be afraid, this is just the pregnancy hormones. I had borderline GDM and was on diet control but base on my sugar chart, dr started me on metformin. Dose of metformin just keep increasing after reviewing or charts every month. I try to eat home cook food with little rice. I understand it’s just hard. After sometime I just give up, because no matter how little I ate or did not eat my sugar level still high. So just eat as per normal.

thats what i told my husband. cause i omit sugar out entirely. if i wanna keep my numbers good, i have to omit rice. sometimes the diet plan that they give is hard to follow because i cook at home and i usually cook the same meal for everyone in the house. and not everyday i have the money to seperately cook my meal etc. 🤷 and its already so tiring. if meds can help regulate my sugar level i dont mind taking it tho. atleast if the number is still high i know that its not entirely my fault 😅
