“My morning sickness has been getting worse, so I went to the doctor and found out I have gestational diabetes,” says Amber revealed in a sneak peak for an upcoming episode of Teen Mom OG.
“I feel like I could just like go to sleep right now,” Amber then tells Andrew as she lies on a couch. “I need to eat some fruit or something. Maybe my sugar’s just low.”
Always the loving boyfriend, Andrew immediately produces a fruit cup for her. He tells her, “I’m gonna look up some diabetes diets right now for you.”
