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 😢

same here. i got GDM, high blood pressure and protein in my urine. was placed under high risk pregnancy. for gdm, the first few was hard for me to track. i followed the dietitian meal plans it was ok but was hard for me to follow up so i stopped tracking as pricking your fingers every single day 7X is stressful and I was place on metformin as well. i refused the insulin. but my Last appt, i was admitted and stayed in the hosp for 6days till i gave birth. Hahah. no choice nurse keep pricking me to track. but do be careful ok. cos they told me that they worried aft they cut off the cord from baby, baby will hv low blood sugar bcos too dependent on cord. and baby will need to be prick 5X withing 24hrs to chk their glucose for gdm mummies. stay strong. you can do this. few wks more!

the part where baby needs to be pricked worries me 😔 i realise on non testing days, sometimes i will just randomly track example my lunch. the reading is fine. but on testing days, its high. maybe ya cause stressful to prick 7times. and need to schedule a time to eat etc.
