Hiya all - and thanks again for your advice so far!

Just an update on yesterdays 5 hour trip to ante-natal and diabetic team (educator, dietician and physician).

All is good at 11-13 weeks (the docs dont seem to be sure which it is so I will call it 12 from now on!)
The physician adjusted my insulin and I am finally getting normal (4-6.5) readings before and after meals!
My overnight fasting levels were much better as well now he has upped my protophane.
Today not one high! \/

I am feeling less stressed knowing this is all finally getting under control!

My dietician and diabetic educator (and the diabetic midwife (that is she is a diabetic and looks after the diabetic mums as well) all said my diet was excellent (despite a few evenings where I had 2 scoops of icecream b4 bed) that it contained adequate fruit and veg and that we overall eat very well.
The only thing I was told was to eat more calcium for growing bones - so she told me to have a milo before bed with high cal milk both to aid in keeping overnight levels stable and to add calcium.
(I cant believe a dietician told me to have MILO !! she said it was good for my iron levels as well as tasting good and going in milk)
At last a reward for being strict on myself )

On the bread thing... thanks Kerry I will try those breads... I LOVE birdseed bread The grainier the better. I love the sound of the capeseed loaf.

I have discovered wholemeal pita bread is fine? I suppose as it is so thin?
Anyway at least I can have cheese and tomato toasted pita's now that should keep me going for a little while till I die of boredom


Donella - I hope that bubs is here and well by now

Dee73 thanks for the spelt idea but it didnt work I think its cos the grain is so finely ground. (at least thats what the dietician thought) I am going for birdseed from now on like I said above!

Again thanks to all those women who have offered their help so far! Only 6 more months to go
