I went for my glucose tests yesterday morning. I was good and did the fasting from 9pm Sunday night. Didn’t even have a drink of water because I woke up late and had no time. So the only in take I had was the sugary drink you get before your second lot of blood is taken.

The hospital called me and told me my sugar levels had come back high and this means I have diabetes within this pregnancy and they want to check in on me more regularly.

I’m waiting for my letter with appointment to go in and see them, but see my community midwife today.

Honestly when they called me, it sent me into a state of panic. I’ve had enough of a hard time with my ongoing depression and anxiety recently that it just made me break. I’ve been awake all night, still no signs of sleep yet (it’s almost 3am)

I don’t know how I’m going to manage it through diet, food has always been a problem for me depending on how I’m feeling. I can either go for days without meals and just snack lightly or spend several days over eating.

I was just wondering what people have done to help, who also have GD? Any tips and advice? This is my first baby, and I’m more anxious now than ever, feeling like I’ve done something wrong and it’s a horrible feeling on top of everything else right now.
