Anyone with gestational diabetes?!?

I was told at 13 weeks I had it and was given the special diet. I thought it was going pretty well actually but today the put me on insulin (15 weeks). I am so frustrated about all of this. I am struggling to figure out what to eat that I like and am now overwhelmed that I have to give myself needles for the next 6 months. Really I am angry. This has been a horribly difficult pregnancy and it is only the beginning. Everyone says this should be the best time of my life and things will get better but I am not seeing it right now. 

I guess I don't really know what I am looking for, maybe just what you found worked and didn't and how you emotionally dealt with all of it. Someone to commiserate with?!
