I am really struggling with having GD lately :(. To the point where I had a complete breakdown last night. I'm currently 31w4d and was diagnosed back at 10 weeks.

For a long time I managed just fine by taking Metformin and eating reasonable meals. But at the beginning of the month I noticed my fasting numbers were no longer perfect and were creeping up over 90 and then up over 100 (should be under 90).

My endocrinologist convinced me that I should go on insulin and stop taking Metformin. She told me I would just need to take it at night, either an intermediate acting one to help with overnight numbers, or one at night that would give me 24 hour control. I was on Humulin N (intermediate acting), and in the 3 weeks since, I still have not gotten things under control. Last night I received a message from the Dr. advising me to keep lunch and dinner to <30g carbs and raise my snack carbs to 30g, and that I would need meal time insulin.

I just don't know how to keep up with this. It's so hard for me to plan meals, to eat things on time, to fit in snacks and to stay under 30g carbohydrates. And even then, I still fail - this morning my 1 hour numbers after 20g was 156 >:(. I have a job that can be crazy at times and I have awful acid reflux that makes me not want to eat between meals. I am so upset that I stopped taking Metformin, which in hindsight gave me really good control all day, except for fasting. The insulin just doesn't seem to be working, and I know that for my lifestyle, trying to adhere to this plan just isn't going to work.

I'm not sure what I'm looking for here. Maybe just a vent. Or someone with GD experience that went through something similar and figured it out?
