I am 27 weeks with my first. I am 31 and 287 lbs. I gained 13lbs so far. Was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, honestly not upset about it but the side effects are running my life.

I am so thirsty. The doctor will not put me on insulin yet even though I've been having blood sugar issues for 5 weeks. The dietitian wants me to eat more carbs and more meals. My doctor doesn't want me to gain any more weight. So contradictory.

I have too low of levels if I don't eat carbohydrates, yet if I eat them they are way too high. I just cannot get a grip on what to do. I am getting warn down.

I eat fairly healthy but I just cannot keep going like this with feeling horrible, thirsty, dizzy, my heart starts racing. Doctors want one more week of glucose numbers I just feel as though 5 weeks of this is so unfair.

Also my glucose 1 hour test and 3 hour test were my worst numbers. I don't normally eat carbs, I do not drink anything besides milk, tea and water, and never liked candy or fruit. So of course that was going to go bad for me.

Anyone have any experience or help?
