Feeling worse on the gestational diabetes diet?
I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes. It explains a lot because I’ve gained weight rapidly without changing my diet, have high levels of amniotic fluid and at 29 weeks my daughter’s weight is estimated at 3.9 lbs! Since the diagnosis last week, I have been following the diet religiously and have been eating small meals every two hours, cutting out sugar and juices and counting carbs. And I have to say that I feel AWFUL. I feel tired and lethargic and feel hungry all the time, and even feel nauseous at times. I felt MUCH better before I was eating worse (carbs, pastas, sugars). Anyone else had this happen? I have an appointment with my doctor in a few days so I’ll ask him there but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced something similar. Is my body just adjusting to this new diet? Or is something wrong? Thanks!!!! A: I was diagnosed with GD last week at 30 weeks. I felt the EXACT same way-totally yucky. I asked my midwife and she said it’s your body’s way of reprogramm
