Hi Everyone,

Thought I'd check in. Is it just Tennykins, Stars and me left now? I'm sure I saw another thread that Cherii was having her bub a couple of days a go...... I hope everything went wonderfully Cherii!

Stars - Glad you're getting your levels under control now.... not long to go now! When I went to my endocrinologist on Monday she said that you have the most trouble with BSL's during weeks 32-34. She told me that if you make it through that time without insulin then you should be right. You can do it!

Tennykins - It must have been such a loooooong pg for you but sounds like you've got it all sorted now.

Me, well saw the endocrinologist on Monday morning and so did my first BSL after lunch. So far so good. I've got to be under 5.5 fasting and under 7.0 2hrs after meals. My BSL's have been consistently from mid 4's to mid 5's. (In fact in 5 days I've only had 3 BSL's above 5.5) I'm being very strict low GI but still making sure I have carbs with every meal. I'm probably just in denial but I'm questioning if I really even have GD ATM. I had my Hb1ac BT done too and it came back just fine. Remember I asked about diet before the GTT? Well I mentioned that I hadn't eaten carbs (or in fact anything very much in the 20hrs before the test ) and I was told that this would have definitely affected the results. Oh well, I'll know for next time. I see my endocrinologist again next Thurs so I'll see what she says.

One quick question..... what is the ideal BSL after eating? I'm worried now that mine's too low. I don't want a massive child but I would like a robust one

Anyway have a great weekend everyone. Hope you find some interesting food to eat!
