Hi all.. I am new here too. ( Hi allejane)
I had my one hr test done on wed last week and came back at 15.
I then went for my 2 hr test and it came back at 16.5 last night.
My partner and I left our phones at home for the 1st time ever and went to our birthing class and the midwife was ringing frantically at 9:15 pm on every number she had. i was informed I should go toanother bigger hospital first thing in the morning.
So today we spent most of the day at the hospital, testing and talking to 5 drs.
I didn't think it was such a big deal as in 7 and half mmonths, I have only gained 3.5 kgs.
Today was alot to take in. The diabetic educator/nurse/dr (whatever she is) made me ***** myself and my "test" reading came back at 10.5 after having breakfast 4 hrs earlier (3 x weetbix + half banana + skim milk)
My partner went and got me lunch and after a toasted turkish bread, it jumped to 12.6.
I have been put on insulin immediately. I ONLY FOUND OUT LAST NIGHT!!
they were saying today to test for 2 weeks then they would review the results in 2 weeks but I said that I wanted something happening much more quickly. In 2 weeks I will be 33 weeks pregnant! So afet my 2 "*****s" there, they put me on straight away.
I left feeling good because I was doing something... Not waiting.
Tonight I did my 1st injection (6 units) before dinner and tested 2 hrs later and I am at 7.6. The dr said it would go down more slowly and probably not hit the 7's mark for a week so I am a little confused....
Anyway, I have been reading back through everyones posts and I am REALLY HIGH.... They all kept saying that.
I must admit that after dinner and checking again and seeing that it was down closeer to my goal of 7, I am feeling MUCH better.
Anyway, sorry to rant... just a newbie with lots of thoughts swirling...
I am excited to see such a support network... Awesome.
Take care all...
