Gestational Diabetes help...
![Help](/images/smilies/help.gif) I'm not sure if there are still nurses on the board who can help me with this issue. But I'm 32 weeks pregnant and my doctors have told me I have GD.
I'm super depressed about this but trying my best to do what I need to. I was following a fairly sensible diet but have since eliminated any and all sugar, flour ( although I did try whole wheat the other day and it was a disaster...) I eat fruit (in moderation 2 pieces per day) LOTS of veggies, protein and occasionally some oats.
I already have a jacked up thyroid, (HYPO) and I've been struggling terribly with depression and rage.
I don't know what to do at this point. My doctors told me I can stop gaining weight, but even with watching my weight (at 32 weeks pregnant) and calories, I'm still gaining 1-1.5 lbs per week. So far I've only gained about 16-17 lbs, but have still been diagnosed with GD. I'm so beyond frustrated it's not even funny, and I'm not even sure I can make it to my due date I'm so uncomfortable. I don't remember my last pregnancy being like this. But I'm really struggling this time.
Thanks for all suggestions.
