I’m feeling so defeated with my blood sugar..stupid gestational diabetes (and yeah I get diagnosed super early due to history in past pregnancies)

All my meal blood sugars are perfect it’s just my morning blood sugar that’s not good.. I’m on a strict diet which is already hard having had a past with eating disorder and then checking 4x a day on top of that.. every “high” (only my morning sugar) makes me hate myself because it can harm baby but I’m trying everything.. I used to workout twice a day but I’ve kicked it up to 4-5 times a day to try and help but nothing seems to work 😞 my fingers are so bruised they hurt to touch anything..

Anyway I just needed to vent because I’ve been crying about it all morning lol

sorry but why work out even more when you cant even keep food down?.. that doesn't even make sense to me.. take a break and rest?

@GoFish honestly it’s just because it’s the only thing I can control at the moment and according to Google it’s supposed to help but hasn’t yet

@MommaBear yeah i wouldn't believe just anything just because goggle said are you sure you aren't making your situation worse?

@GoFish I'm not sure I was given 2 weeks to get them under control or I’d be disqualified for homebirth because if I can’t get it under control I’ll have to be put on medication and I’m running out of time on the time limit I was given

@MommaBear oh i see so you're stressing out trying to fit into their limits 🤐 maybe you can find a different midwife without so many restrictions? you don't need to be stressed more you know? you need rest 😳

@GoFish yeah I’m incredibly stressed out over it i dread checking my morning blood sugar I even double check sometimes out of anxiety about it

@MommaBear oh 😐
