christinajayne - welcome to the forum. Interesting to see the list of things to try - I've previously had chromium but hadn't been sure if it was safe during PG, so hadn't tried it (I think the only formulation I have at home says on the pack not to take it during PG).
Artechim - I was wondering about acupuncture too. Has anyone else tried it?
Becci - good luck with the mastitis I hope you feel better and good to hear Ethan is doing well.
Tennykins - do you have to keep checking your BSL's and then do a GTT at ~6 weeks? I can understanding not feeling as motivated, plus it's not like you haven't got some other things to deal with - I'm sure you'll get there when you're ready
pachamama - interesting that they're saying you'll have a big bubba. I've read lots of comments in these forums about the sizing scans not being all that accurate - did you all find that to be true? I wonder if I should be listening to them or not! One of my friends (without GD) was told at 34 weeks she'd be having a huge 'un (at least 8-9lb), and it came out (full-term) at a pleasant 7lb 2oz.
I started my insulin on Monday (thanks again for the support! ) and it's going ok (oh and Becci, it's protaphane). I started on 8 units in the mornings, and still don't have to do fasting levels. Both first & second mornings were a bit freaky but I"m starting to get used to it now. My BSL's have been all over the place (even with exactly the same meal! Go figure!), so they're upping the insulin already (to 12 units) - but I'm fine with that given I'm on it anyway! I finish work end of next week, can't wait. Had my aunt's funeral yesterday, and all the house guests departed this morning, so things are settling down a bit which is good.
