Anyone else feel like gestational diabetes controls your whole day?
It is not about the food I can and cannot eat. I am always thinking about what I should eat and when I should eat it. I have to check my numbers all the time. I get really confused when a meal works fine one day but does not work the day. I worry about my baby every time my reading's high. Gestational diabetes is always on my mind. Sometimes I feel like I think about diabetes more than anything else when it comes to my pregnancy. I spend a lot of time managing diabetes. Does anyone else feel the way, about gestational diabetes?
I mean I have to think about:
what food I can eat
when I should eat
checking my numbers
wondering why a meal worked yesterday but not today
worrying about my baby when my reading is
Gestational diabetes is really taking over my life. I feel like I am always managing diabetes. Is anyone else managing diabetes like I am?
