28 weeks, low glucose and protein levels and feel rotten

I guess I'm probably after sympathy more than anything else here but never mind!
I've been feeling exceptionally tired and run down, hence gp doing blood tests. Iron levels were fine but apparently my glucose levels were 3.5 and protein levels were slightly low (this was mid morning when I'd had my usual breakfastg and mid morning snack so I'm fairly sure i wasn't hungry! GP reckons I'm not eating enough- said there was nothing to me except a bump so guess he wasn't looking at my bum or chin(s)- and need to eat 3500 calories a day - is this actually possible? Fundal height is exactly spot on and I'm sure I had the same with dd, even making me faint in Debenhams .
Is a level of 3.5 worth worrying about? I do eat quite a lot and I would say it was quite healthy as I eat the same as 3 yo dd.

Oh yes the insomnia! I'm having a reasonably OK few days atm (touch wood!) but I know as soon as I catch up a bit the sleeplessness will start again . I love sleeping [sigh]

Also 28 weeks and soooooooooooo tired and run down. Insomnia is terrible at the mo too. Do we really have another 12 weeks to go?

fraid so....or possibly even more . Dd was on time so I'm hoping this one will be too but knowing my luck it'll be mega late!
At least I#m not the only one feeling like this. I kept waiting for the 2nd trimester burst of energy but am now in the 3rd trimester and it still hasn't happened
