MiniMax, I found pasta dishes to be fantastic for my readings. Do you have to take readings? Or just watch the diet?

Elenia,How have your breakfast readings been going? I found that breakfast was my worst meal of the day. Everything I tried I would get high readings for. Insulin made it so much easier.


As for myself, it's been a stressful time. I went on insulin which really took that pressure off. Up until 36 weeks however, my breakfast insulin went up as my readings started going over 7 again. After 36 weeks, everything evened out and was looking good. Then I was in a car accident and was taken to emergency at the Royal Melbourne, followed by 2 days observation in the Women's. Baby was fine and monitored daily with CTG. I had a little bruising and was shaken, mainly relieved that the baby was ok.

So now i'm 37 weeks pregnant and today had another CTG (just to check the baby is still ok with me being on insulin), but it didn't go so well. Baseline reading was fine, but the baby wasn't very active for them to see fluctuations. So next week I go in to do it all again. Then I see the doc on Wednesday where she will picking which day to book me in for induction (which looks like either next Friday or the following Monday).

In the mean time however, my readings have been a little over the place. I went Hypo on Wednesday and I woke up with a fasting reading of 4 today. I'm really feeling like the sooner we seperate the better the both of us will be!! Think I better get that bag fully packed!
