Feeling defeated
I am at the point where I feel so defeated. I have gestational diabetes and honestly have been doing really (good besides fasting numbers which isn't the problem rn) but I am getting to the point where I am getting depressed when it comes to eating. It's mostly because I am eating the same foods all the time and limited because of not only the amount of carbs I can eat ,but financially it's hard ,and time consuming to make anything fulfilling,and then just regular not being able to have certain food because of pregnancy aka a freaking sandwich. So I am laying in bed on the verge of tears because we went to my sister in-laws birthday party and they only had some fruits , veggies,chips and sandwiches. And obviously not upset at them but I frustrated because now it 8:30 at night and I don't know what to eat and can't get take out because of the carbs and just want to scream.

I totally understand, I was having that same feeling. My numbers where good but recently anything makes it go up 🥲
Literally in the same situation right now. Donno what to eat anymore. My fasting numbers are all over the place. The doctor gave me so much guilt trip and put me on bed time insulin for my fasting numbers. But what i figured: - take at least 10 minutes walk after meals - eating the carbs last ( loading myself with veggies and protein first ) - especially for fasting numbers couple of stressless good night sleeps really helps.

Something that works for me hopefully it will work for you too if I feel like I’m eating something not so great (especially with thanksgiving coming up) I drink 2 bottles of water and take a walk around the block after the meal and before I do my finger pricks and it usually keeps my numbers low, I hope this helps hang in there mama you got this!
