It’s not like anyone in my family deals with blood sugar issues, so I honestly thought I was in the clear. But here we are. My first reading came back right on the line, and according to my doctor, I’m being put on a strict diet immediately. 😢
I took the glucose tolerance test this past Wednesday, and now I have to spend two weeks strictly dieting before I go back in to repeat it.
I'm currently 24 weeks and 6 days along.

And let me tell you, it sucks. My stomach is constantly growling, I'm perpetually hungry, and then I get incredibly cranky because I'm hungry—it's a vicious cycle. Honestly, I’d give anything just to sleep through these next two weeks. 😵

How did your glucose test turn out?

Honestly, I’m losing my mind right now. My doctor put me on this strict 1,800-calorie diet because my blood sugar levels hit the red zone, and let me tell you—I am starving literally every single second of the day. 😢
Part of me tries to stay positive, thinking about how much this will help stabilize my glucose and benefit my baby, but that doesn't change the reality. That constant, gnawing hunger is just infuriating. 🙄

The only thing driving me absolutely insane right now is the constant urge to pee. It’s relentless, and honestly, I’m exhausted. I feel like I know the layout of every single restroom better than my own living room—from the stalls at Starbucks to the ones in Target and Walmart, all the way to every single gas station on my commute from work to the house. And the worst part? I can't even get a decent night's sleep because I'm waking up every hour to run to the bathroom 😵
I swear, I’m going to spend about half of this entire pregnancy just sitting on the toilet 🙂🙂
