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 GD too, it was not borderline at all though. For the first month I bought the Freestyle Libre as there's a 50% off for first time users and it was very useful as it gives 24h monitoring so I can see when I spike and link it back to the meal I ate. I'll highly recommend it to reduce the uncertainty and stress. Eg fish soup + half white rice and keto pancakes caused a huge spike, but GYG quesadilla and roast duck rice were weirdly fine for me. There's once my levels spiked to 11 in the middle of a workday and I realised it was from stress coz I was in a meeting with my manager. Bad thing was I started skimping on exercise when I see my levels were in the safe zone.

aww thankyou for giving me options to chose from! alright got it, meat first then any form of carbs especially rice if can. will take note of that. i just had my cheat day, shared a beef burger with my son & fries plus also sneak in coke float(cause cant resist and its been weeks i've been drinking only plain water 😂) but funny thing was my sugar level was 6.0 after 2hr which was surprising cause the day i ate 7tablespoons of rice + half plate of brocolli my sugar level was 7.1 😅
