Just ranting

Romy

First I want to say that I am so grateful for this little boy because I know getting pregnant isn't always easy (I know after 2 miscarriages), and having diabetes is not the end of the world..

But..

I really need to rant about this whole situation.

I had the 3 hour glucose test and didn't pass, I've had a couple of appointments since then with de gynecologist and dietitian and my midwife. First they told me that if i could keep my numbers good with just diet I could stay with my midwife and I would not have to stay under control of the hospital. Yesterday, after 1,5 week of diet and checking my numbers daily, they told me because of my BMI in combination with the diabetes I will be under control of the hospital anyway. I know they do it to control the baby's health but I just don't have that much trust in hospitals and doctors so I was really hoping that it wasn't necessary.

Beside of that all, I've been checking my numbers now for 1,5 week and noticed that I can't eat potatoes or bananas and absolutely nothing like fries of cookies or whatever. I can only eat REALLY healthy to keep my numbers good, and its sooo annoying. When I'm doing groceries and I see anything sweet of something I crave I can just scream because I just can't eat it.

Okay so I know it's like a really small problem but not many people understand it (some people even ask me I want anything to eat like a cookie, they don't understand that my diet has to be so strict), and i hope some of you will understand the struggle...
