The last 48 hours have been rough. We just entered our 2nd trimester and my wife got put on insulin to help keep her sugar low. It was a blow to us because we’ve been trying our damndest to get and stay healthy ever since we found out we’re expecting. The last year had been rough as we’d been traveling a lot on the road seeing family across the country thanks to being able to work remotely and that definitely led to eating not so great more than we normally have in the past and not keeping down a regular exercise routine.

But this just felt like a kick in the gut. Even though she won’t have to continue it after the baby is born the random spikes even after eating a completely healthy dinner in line with dietician recommendations is frustrating her to no end. And I completely get it. It fucking sucks when you do the right things and it seems like your blood sugar has a mind of its own.

I just needed to vent. I def bear the brunt of the frustration and I don’t mind it - this hasn’t been an easy process for us, but I just don’t know what to say or do to help her feel better.
