Had my baby shower on Sunday and had 2 cupcakes (yummo) and a few lamingtons in a mix of sandwiches made with my GD-safe bread, fruit, and a few hot mini quiches.. Also had a few small glasses of diet coke and then water and had a great day. I got SOOOO many presents that it was ridiculous.

I'm at home at present on sick leave so have been putting all the baby things away and sorting out what I've got and what I still need (which is NOT much at all).. My last day of work is next Wednesday and then I'm done!!! Bit earlier than anticipated but with the curve balls I've been thrown at work it was the best decision to keep my stress levels under control.

Allergies still no better and in my "peeling like a snake phase" right now. I'll get a day or two of nice skin and then it'll flare up again I'm sure.. Swelling is the same and legs look alot bigger than normal but managing.

Levels have been good.. Are levels in the 4 range considered low?? I'm averaging in the 4 and early 5 range but I'm wondering what levels are considered too low?? I seem to be able to treat myself with not much issue with my BSL.. Tonight I tried a Rice Pudding (Low GI), the Le Rice ones, for after dinner snack. I don't normally test my fasting level (haven't been told to) but i'll check it tomorrow morning to see how the pudding has gone.

Have my Endo apt tomorrow so fingers crossed he is happy with things..
Chat soon.

hello glad you enjoyed the baby shower

For me any thing under 3.5 is considered a hypo the common effects are : nervousness, trembling,sweating, palpitations , tiredness, headache, intense hunger, double vision( this would be a bad sign meaning they are very low)difficulty concentrating, tingling lips and tongue, slurred speech, unsteadiness or drowsiness.


any body can get a hypo only if you have Diabetes you need to treat it I think its more relevant when you are on insulin as if you are late having lunch have low blood sugar and take your insulin it might send them to low for your lunch to bring them back up quickly enough so you would feel fairly crappy so If mine are low ive to treat it ie something sweet recheck 15 minutes later then if im due to eat take my insulin and have some food.
I have noticed that sometimes mine can be 3.9 and i start to feel bad shaking hands feel light headed my lowest has been 3.2 so far I did have a 1.1 once but that was on my last pregnancy during labour LOL

Go by more on how you feel make sure you are eating enough and not hungry and I think the important thing is to make sure you eat regularly but I think you are controlling them very well if they are 5 two hours after you eat what did the doc say
