    Do I have to take insulin?

    Hi, I had diet controlled GD and found it extremely difficult. I exercised for 10-15mins after every meal. If I got a high reading, I did it again on another finger straight away and 90 % of the time I got a lower reading. Also as said before ensure you wash your hands thoroughly. Good luck!

    Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!

    Hey Ladies
    just wanted to update you.

    Went to the insulin injection class. Wasnt as bad as i thought, the injections didnt hurt though I did take the longest to inject myself at the demo because i was SCAREDDDDD

    I was telling the girls there that i was negotiating and asking the dietitian and encronlogist if i can have another week as I found out what tipped me off and all the ladies there said they tried to do the same!!!!!

    Anyway, we will be getting monitored closely and adjust the doses accordingly.

    Thank goodness i only have 9 weeks to go and only need insulin during dinner.

    And yes, i noticed anything white (white rice, white bread, pizza dough) will always tip me over.

    My dinners have all been high only a few readings were avg.

    Thanks for your support ladies and your advice.
