Gestational Diabetes Chatter #6

[belfie]

Trac - tehehe like the counting! I'm certainly counting down this time, that's for sure - 7.5 weeks to go for me! I'm also with you on the last bub, a) we only ever wanted 2 and b) this PG has been tough, so i'll be sooo happy to not do this again. Sorry to hear your numbers are all over the show, I really hope they settle down soon. As for SamiH, oh that's too funny, I was looking at her latest pics of her tribe, just gorgeous! Re Xander, he's great. Has allergies to eggs and treenuts which is a bit of a PITA, but otherwise a gorgeous happy little fella. How is Jaylan going? And how are all his siblings?

MamaSpice - oooh congrats on your mat leave, that's so exciting! Have a wonderful time and enjoy your lunch. Shame re your insulin but lol your fasting BSL's are still better than mine!! Last three days were all 6 or over! But I'm not back to see my endo till next Mon, so shall just see how they go. We had indian takaway with friends the other night.. and I thought I'd done ok. I bought the ONLY dish on the entire menu that I can eat, small serve of rice and still got an 8.6 bah! Then last night I tried a gluten free wrap from this new shop I've found... thinking that'd be good, protein, salad, wrap for carbs - finally some takeaway I can have... and it was FOUL. So stodgy and tasteless . I threw it out and made an omelette instead! I seriously need to find some takeaway that we can have for "those" nights when you just need something quick!

belfie, I find Subway works well for me! So thats what I usually have if DH and DD get some other kind or takeaway or if I'm out at the shops. My latest craving has been the chicken pamigiana one. Just a 6 inch and I make sure I have it on multigrain.

ah see there's the rub... I can't have wheat... hard to find gluten-free, onion-free options that are low GI stoopid food restrictions!

MamaSpice - yes i did have VB, i was induced at 38+3days, he was born in 1hr and 10mins and he was 8pd 11oz. I have been lucky that both my bubs have been VB and i am hoping that this one will be too. Both mine have been induced also due to medical reason DD preclampsia and DS GD. I am now wondering if i will be induced with this one early too. i am having my appointment tomorrow about the insulin so lets see if they put me on insulin. Parts of me think they may and other thinks they might not, i am a little confused as my BSL's are all over the shop no matter what i eat
Belfie - Jaylan is doing well oter than always seems to get every illness that is going around He is growing up so fast starting to parrot everything so sometimes you have to be careful what you say LOL I am finding it a little difficult at night with him though as he is waking anywhere from 1-3 times and in those times he is looking for bottles to help settle himself off, which is becoming rather draining at the moment cause i just dont feel like i am getting any sleep Brearna is doing well, she started Kinder this year and LOVES it, which is great. She is such a great sister but sometimes in Jaylan's face a little too much so he gets frustrated. As for Matt we actually dont see him anymore as his mother has taken him to Victoria somewhere and to be honest we dont know where he is We are all doing fine here though.

Hope you are both keeping well and i will pop in tomorrow to let you know how i go at the clinic in the morning.
Night xoxo

Hi Ladies
Just a quick drop in to let you know how i went at clinic today................... well i am now on insulin twice a day pre breakfast and predinner and 16 units each =32units a day was a little surprised at going on 2 lots and i thought the units were alot but the professor knows what he is doing LOL so i didn't go to work today just wasnt in the mood. I am ok about it a least the positive is that i will probably be induced early which means meeting bub sooner ya!!!!
Take Care and i will be in to chat later

Wow Trac73, that seems an aweful lot to start you on be careful not to have a hypo won't you! make sure you have some lollies with you at all times JIC. What type of insulin have you been put on if you don't mind me asking? I'm on Protophane which is an intermediate acting one so just need the one dose at night.

Thats good to hear you've had VB's with my first I had an elective CS due to PE/PIH, but in hindsight I had a knife happy OB. This time no BP problems but got the GD instead and I'm hoping for a VBAC. Only prob is I cannot be induced because of the past CS so hoping bub doesn't get too big and hoping that i go into labour a little early
