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!

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

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?

Hi Girls!
Thanks for the best wishes jewel!
Didi, glad your mum is arriving soon. And hopefully they'll book in your definate section date for you this week. I can see why you wouldn't want to go on the meds. My insulin is a class A drug.
Belfie, it's strange how different Endo's can be! Mine has been focusing on my fasting BSL's. All of my ones after meals have been under 7 except for 2, so they weren't concerned at all about those ones. But about half of my fasting BSL's lately had been over 5.5.
6.2 was my highest fasting BSL. My endo explained that at night is when bub grows so that's why they wanted to put me on insulin at night to make sure my fastings we all under 5.5. I found no correlation between day time readings and my fasting ones. Quite often my reading after dinner would be really good, like 5.6 or something then the next morning my fasting BSL would be over 5.5 which really puzzled me. Then I might have a reading of 6.5 after dinner but my fasting BSl the next morning would be fine.
It sounds like my endo are a lot more strict on when insaulin needs to start, then a lot of others are.
