looks like GD

I'm here to vent because my blood sugar is considered normal for someone who isn't pregnant. But because I am pregnant (18 weeks and plus size) they want my numbers to be lower and I just don't understand. I was taking my blood sugar four times a day to avoid the 3 hour glucose test but they said the numbers weren't good enough and I could take the three hour or be treated as a pre gestional diabetic. My OB thinks it's likely I will fail the three hour. I'm just so frustrated. I didn't want to have to poke myself every day for the next 22 weeks. I wanted to be able to just focus on being happy and enjoying baby growing. I've been crying since my appointment yesterday. I just wanted to have a normal and healthy pregnancy. 😭
