29 weeks 1 day: diabetes clinic

I had my booking in appointment with the diabetes clinic yesterday, and got set up with the finger prick stuff and a wad of information. I'm beyond frustrated already though and its only been a day.

I dont eat on a normal schedule. Frankly, with all of the appointments i'm meant to be making it to its nearly impossible to sit down for real meals. Not to mention not feeling hungry. I usually just graze all day, a piece of fruit here, some crackers there, and one "normal" meal. But now i'm supossed to be testing 2 hours after breakfast lunch and dinner, and frankly I don't know how i'm meant to be doing it.

I'm still struggling with the depression, and my OCD is worsened by that too. So while it might sound simple to say "change the way you structure your day" its not that simple. I have a routine and I need to be able to stick to it for my own sanity. So no doubt i'll completely fail at this too and end up on insulin. Can't get anything right!

On a different note, Sophie is off to the ENT today, finally. Hoping to walk out of his office with a surgery date so that she can finally have a fighting chance at staying healthy for longer than a couple of days.
