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 Mommy, I experienced GDM during my pregnancy. I was told to always eat protein foods (e.g. eggs, meat etc) first before eating the rest, especially carbo. if eating carbo like rice better have it last and not more than your fit size. sugary drink can be drank in half a cup but only after meals. Avoid processed food especially fish balls. I did eat fast food once in awhile to reward myself because it's really difficult and stressful to keep the glucose level within the range! Stress may also affect your glucose level so try to relax too! I trial and error a bit, the best way for me to manage back then was to eat caifan so I had balanced meal. of course I didn't finish the rice, shared with my husband. I managed to keep my glucose levels within the range most of the time and didn't have Type 2 diabetes after giving birth. you may try! jiayouuuuuu!!!
