Hey mamas, im really struggling here. I was diagnosed about a month ago with gestational diabetes. Ive been working with a dietician and a diabetic doctor and have been trying so hard but they are so pushy with the carb intake that i feel like im making myself sick at every meal. My sugar levels are not controlled at all because they keep telling me to increase my carbohydrates but in return it spikes my blood sugar. I am already on insulin at dinner time because of this. It makes me sick.

I had an eating disorder a few years ago and counting carbs and having someone be so pushy with the way i am eating is seriously triggering for me. I am exhausted and burnt out.. my entire day consists of me tracking what im eating and measuring it out and taking my sugar levels and going for walks to decrease my highs. I feel like im not good enough and no matter what i do im hurting my baby. Im being told if i dont eat enough carbs my kid is going to have a low IQ but if i eat the recommended amount it spikes my sugars and i have a fear of stillbirth and causing weight issues for my baby. Nothing i could possibly do is good enough. I feel like im hurting my son either way.

Has anyone else been through this? I need some advice on what i should do because my diabetes doctor is no help, everything she suggests makes both my diabetes and my mental health worse.
