Hey girlsss!
How're you all doin'?

I had my bubbakins on saturday night.
Hayden Alexander - 8lb 6oz.
He's doing great. BSLs were perfect. Couldn't be happier with that.

Mine have been alright. I've been sick though and on anitbiotics, so it's hard to know if they have gone back to normal.
Only time will tell though.

I hope your testing is going great.

Welcome Hayden!!!

That's fantastic news Tenny. So glad to hear that the levels are good too.
Hope your keeping well other than the ab's.
I've been fine. Bubs is moving on down so to speak and we are now counting the days til next wed night.
I've had to bump my insulin up a little but I'm still in single figures.

Take Care and keep in contact.

Tennykins Congratulations great to here he is doing well Hope you are feeling ok


Ive been missing in action lately I have been popping in to see how all is going though

I had my hospital appointment yesterday my blood sugars have been very high after breakfast and a few highs after dinner they have been up in the 10 so I have to add an injection in at breakfast now and increase all my other amounts of insulin
but I haven't been feeling very well the last few days but they said I had sugars 4+ ketones 3+ white blood cells and blood in my urine I rang them today to check if any thing showed up in the second sample I gave for testing and it was inconclusive they dont want another one Im just a bit surprised they haven't requested another one esp with the risk of an UTI and not to mention the high ketones may be im over reacting

But I see some of you are nearing the end now Ive 6 weeks left till my due date may be 4 if they decide to induce me at 38 weeks I have a scan in two weeks cant wait for that

any way hope you are all keeping well

Hiya Niamh

So good to hear from you.

What insulin are you on now? I'm on 6 units of NovaRapid at dinner time and going up to 9 units of Protaphane at bedtime.

A bit weird about your urine test though. I guess they know what they are on about though.
When do you see your dr next?
