Gestational diabetes

So When I took the 1hr test I tested kind of high so I had to take the 3hr test. I did good on that test expect for the last hr result. They put me on a carb counting diet and I had to start checking my sugar an hr after every meal. So my first week all my results turned out great once I cut out cold cereal and soda. It got hard to remember after the first week. I haven't been checking it but once in a blue moon. I got an ultrasound to check the weight of the baby and she is where she should be. I have this urge to not go to the app. for the diabetes since they told me that I was borderline. It also makes me feel like a bad mother for not taking better care of myself. Even though I have made my sacrifices when it comes to food. Just falling off of the carb counting and testing my sugars. I'm also worried about what the doc will say since I haven't been keeping track. Should I go and get it over with or say screw it? My sugar has been fine and this has been a waste of time.

    You need to go to your appointment and get back on track with checking your blood sugars. I know it's difficult and a pain in the butt but in the end it is best for you and your baby. Try to think of it that way and maybe it won't be so hard to do.  Also, just because you sugars are controlled now doesn't mean that they will stay that way. Insulin resistance increases later in pregnancy so you still need to watch what you eat and keep checking your sugars.

    I have type1 diabetes and I am almost 8 weeks pregnant I have to check my sugars all the time and eat the right foods or else I could harm my baby I am excited and scared but as long as I do what I need to do I will be fine you should go to your appointment they will help you plus the third trimester they say you will probably need the most help since your body will be resistant to insliun.
