Fed up with GD

Leah

I’m trying to follow a strict diet that my dietitian gave me and I still don’t have my sugar under control. It doesn’t matter how many injections I have or the units, my numbers are the same!!! I’m extremely frustrated.

I have to have an injection in the morning before I eat and one injection in the evening. My sugar is still high in the morning even though I don’t midnight snack and if I’m thirsty I drink water. I am fairly active and walk everywhere.

After breakfast my sugar was 126 and before lunch it’s 163..... I only had 6 whole grain crackers!!! It seems carbs, no matter how little, is responsible for the spike. I guess I will have to go carb free? Like absolutely no breads, rice, potatoes, carrots, etc....

I just feel like a failure. I’m losing weight because I haven’t been eating much to try to avoid the high sugar and that’s not good since I’m pregnant.

Anyone else struggling with GD and getting their levels right?
