But now I am slightly overwhelmed again. I have several appointments for the duration of pregnancy. I went from routine checks to "higher risk" and that scares me a lot, even though I should probably not fear. On top of that, I am highly irritable today. Maybe due to all of the changes in my diet, I'm having some kind of withdrawal?
Anyways, there's a brief update and request for prayer. Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry the GD diagnosis has been so trying lately. I may end up there myself, and just thinking about it is overwhelming.
I have found the extra appointments being high risk to be wonderful. I had two second trimester miscarriages and am now on Lovenox for Factor V Leiden. The more frequent checks just reassure me. I hope they can be reassuring for you rather than scary.
A quick note on irritability...my dad is type 2 diabetic, and we always notice he is grouchy when his glucose is high. (HE doesn't always think so. ;) It really is fascinating, like you said, to see how those carbs (and exercise) affect the levels.
Praying!
