Gestational diabetes is a b*tch!

Jocelyne

Im 36 weeks and 2 days today. I found out I had gestational diabetes around my 27ish week mark due to finding out so late I was pregnant around the 24 week mark. I’ve been on a strict diet to control it and so far everything has been good and I’ve not needed insulin. However last night I had a small melt down. I’ve been craving a big bowl of coco puffs and a big plate of cheesy bacon fries. Two things I know I can’t have without my sugar shooting out the roof! I’ve been very strict with myself and I know I am close to the finish line but I’m so frustrated with no being able to just eat something and not worry about the carb count. I feel so frustrated but I know it’s for a good reason that I have to be so strict with my carb intake. I’m to the point where I am just eating what I can eat to get it over with. I love LOVE food but these last few months have been a nightmare for me. I am just frustrated.
