Ya i know of the tablets.. Metformin. i was on them prior to having a baby.. and well the side effects are HORRIFIC and its a class C drug so i am not happy taking them unless class A... (a little particular sorry)


I hope they can just csec me earlier.. like in 13 days or so..

No need to say sorry! I didn't know that they were Class C drug, and had always wondered why insulin injections seemed typically to be the first choice. I totally understand that you'd not want to take them. You're not far off full-term, when were they planning to do your c-sec?

MamaSpice - afm settled down, 6.6 tonight. And yes, you're right I just need to wait & see (both for BSL's and endo - who is monday week)... but I always was impatient lol. So saying we went out for dinner with friends tonight (very rare & special event) and I had a yummy steak with good GD-friendly veggies. So feeling a lot calmer about the world after a great evening!

Thanks girls.

They change my C_sec date every week as i have my check up every tuesday and and c-sec would be booked for the thursday so right now its the end of the month and it can be a week forward etc.

My mum arrives on tuesday THANK GOODNESS!!

Didispunk - Sorry to hear your levels have gone up. I don't know how I would have done if I needed to inject myself. I was very lucky I was able to manage mine with diet. Yay for your mum getting there on Tuesday!!!

Belfie - YAY 6.6 That's a good one, especially out to dinner. I'm crossing everything your levels settle.

Mamaspice - for you too.

Sorry I'm crashing your thread. Just wanted to show you all I'm here and know what GD and all that is like. Well, minus the injections part. I don't know how you ladies do it. I think you're strong, amazing people. I'm cheering for you all the way (and hoping I don't seem like a stalker).

I'm cheering for you all the way (and hoping I don't seem like a stalker).

Well I can't speak for the others, but if that's stalking, yay bring it on! (and I've been stalking all year in that case ). Thanks for the cheers and support, it's always great to hear!

Didispunk - omg I'm so happy that your mum is coming on Tues! I hope she is just amazingly wonderful and mega-useful! You so deserve some support and help with everything you're battling

MamaSpice - how you going?

Highest BSL today was a 7.5 after lunch. Still haven't hit that "8" but feeling a little more ok about the world... just takes a bit to get through it at first. Am attempting to "go with the flow", we'll see how long it lasts
Incidentally, my endo says there's no point doing fasting BSL's as if the post-meal BSL's are ok, everything else will look after itself. That seemed a little weird to me, but also explains why I didn't do fasting BSL's last time either.. Do you guys do fasting BSL's?
