[QUOTE="himma1, post: 2247585, member: 522314"] Hi [USER=522335]@AngieKali[/USER] thanks for your response and for the support. It definitely helps to speak to someone about it but I've often found that people tend to over simply the issue and go oh but diabetes is so common, I wouldn't worry too much about it. That's the part that frustrates me because there was nothing that put me at the "high risk" category prior to my GD diagnosis. And to make things worse, everyone told me it would go away after baby is born and it didn't! So all of that wrapped up with the shift in identity in becoming a new mum did take a huge toll on me mentally. I am now extremely careful with my diet with low carbs and have been trying to exercise daily (but not to overdo it since I can't lose more weight!). You're doing the best you can too with your kids! Mine is about to turn 6 mths as well :). Time flies and I'm trying my best to enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
