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.

Definitely do your own research. Many experts believe that gestational diabetes is a red herring and is just a natural variation. I refused the tests because I felt it was pretty bogus after reading up alot on it. A friend of mine was just telling me the other about her prof who is a medical researcher/doctor who was spitting nails one day about what BS gestational diabetes is and how it doesn't really exist.
