Please tell me it gets better😅

First full day after my diabetes diagnosis and I already feel like I want to give up! I was just sent to collect a blood glucose kit from the hospital- no explanation on how to use it. After about 12 attempts (and a lot of stress and tears) I finally managed to get my reading only to realise I didn’t have the app open to sync with the machine! I don’t have appointment for another 3 weeks with the diabetic nurse and just overall feel very overwhelmed with this all. Please tell me each day this gets easier and just becomes routine😅

Hi there! It is incredibly overwhelming especially in the beginning as you adjust to it. Hang in there and you got this!

Yes, it does. It’s hard work in the beginning but hard work pays off. I was diagnosed my 1st trimester and been on gestational diabetes diet for over 6+ months and been able to control my diabetes with diet alone. Allowing me to make it to full term 39 weeks and to tonight I get induced. From the very beginning, I was warned most likely I will have to get insulin toward end of my pregnancy. Never happened continued to work hard and kept a steady weight gain . 😊

It's fearful in the begining but slowly one gets used to it. Just have confidence in yourself . Follow the diet adviced by your doctor and dietician. Walk regularly after every meal for atleast 15-20 mins. That really helps . And this is only temporary. Your strength and confidence is permanent. You are stronger than you think . Chin up 😊
