Just found out I have gestational diabetes and will have to take meds twice a day and eventually be on insulin. I am freaking out. Clearly I need to make some major lifestyle changes. Any other moms to be have this?? Any advice or words of encouragement is much welcomed. My anxiety level is now thru the damn roof! 😢
thank you @id9564547 I will probably need help with the meal part. I am terrible at eating healthy and exercizing. :(
I have had diabetes since 16. The glucose monitoring slowed down my life & helped me be more centered. I remember how hard it was to get over my fear of needles, but it showed me how strong I am. If you need help planning meals that keep your glucose more stable, let me know. Best wishes on your diabetes adventure, <3
Let me know your 5 favorite meals you often eat, & i'll post diabetes-friendlier versions that dont sacrifice flavor. This is a huge opportunity to prevent further health challenges in the future. Food is the most important medicine, b/c we are constantly filling our bodies with it.
