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 borderline GDM as well and was shocked that i had it as my diet didnt have a lot of sugary stuff. however aft consulting w the dietician, carbs are the main culprits. so you can switch white rice for brown rice, quinoa or even sweet potatoes. need go find carbs that are low GI. also drink more fluid and if possible, walk aft a meal may help!

actually i kind of realise that too. cause sometimes i cheat and eat example, nutella a lil bit . but my sugar level all okay. but when i take white rice even if its just a few tablespoon the sugar level ⬆️ , i'll find more low GI carbs or maybe try to skip carbs entirely 😅
