Leigh - I used to have stir fry and had no problems. Was it normal white rice? If yes then maybe try Basmati rice as it's Lower GI. I also used to eat Brown rice but its an acquired taste. I also found Hokkein noodles in stir fry fine but I found one that is in the aisle at woolies, not the fridge ones, and it comes in 2 x 200g packs. If you want more info let me know and I'll try and remember the brand. I didn't have any problems with it and I'm a regular with stir frys.
Hi, Pollyanna.
Welcome to the GD section. I'm sorry to hear you've had to join here, but we're all here to give you the support and encouragement you may need.
I hope everything goes well and good luck with the finger pr!cks and all that jazz.
Angel - That's awesome news about your levels. Fingers crossed that the GD stays away for good.
Leigh - Wow 6 weeks to go. I really hope they fly by. I swear the last few weeks seemed to kinda drag on. I had issues with rice and pasta too.
katones - Hope you're feeling better. It's soo hard to be good all the time. I cracked sometimes too, then I felt guilty, but the stuff tasted reallllllllllllly good.
GOOD LUCK BELFIE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope everything goes smoothly and you'll be holding your bubbaboy in your arms in no time.
I'm so excited for you! Whooooooohoooooo!
with the food thing, i found it hard and its all trail and error. I used google for recepies for low gi things and even diabetic recepies as well. It was nice for a change. Its hard going but you do get there.
Belfie - Good Luck - you must have had your litttle one by now.
All ready at about 5pm last night, and get a call from the hospital... we're full & short staffed, we've talked to your obs.... do you mind coming in tomorrow morning (7am instead)! I'm like... Sure ... means I get to sleep in my own bed. PLUS no-one is bugging us because they all think i'm in hospital. So we have a lovely cuddly evening together watching DVD's.
Drag myself out of bed at 6am ()... only to get another call! They've had SIX babies overnight, lots of ladies going home today but still can't fit me in. Can we come in at lunchtime. LOL, it's the induction that ain't gonna happen. I'm wrapt because every day gives me more chance of having something happen naturally, plus of course my bags are soooo packed. So we're heading off soon (unless they call again )! Thanks for all the good luck messages
Belfie - Jeez talk about dramas getting you induced!!! I'm sure you're probably at the hospital now (hopefully anyway), good luck and we'll all be thinking of you!!!
Snowchickie - Thanks for the tip on the hokkein noodles, I went to coles and found them in one of the aisles, might give them a whirl tomorrow night!! The rice that my friend cooked was plain white rice, so that must've been why my levels went over, I cooked stirfry at home the other night and used basmati rice and had no dramas.
Tennykins - I have a feeling my 6 wks are going to drag, I am really anxious to meet my baby now but also trying to make the most of my good night sleeps (well not that I am sleeping well coz I am uncomfortable and DH's snoring is becoming unbearable).
My fasting sugar level was really low again this morning 2.7 so don't know what the go is with that. I had a low one last week too and my diabetes specialist said yesterday she doesnt know why, especially coz I am having a snack before I go to bed.
I hope Belfie is doing great. Can't wait to see how things went.
Leigh - Wow. That's a low fasting level. I think the lowest fasting level I got was 3.9.
Have a great weekend and I hope your levels are all going great.
I've had such a bad day with my levels today. Both my after lunch and after dinner levels were high It is so frustrating. I didn't eat anything that bad either. I've got a hospital check up on Wednesday so I guess I'll wait and see what my diabetes educator has to say.
All I can say is this is soooo frustrating and I can't wait for it to be over. 35 more days. I am counting down everyday and know it is going to drag. I am it goes away after the baby is born coz I don't want to have to deal with this everyday. I know there is a good chance I will develop type 2 diabetes later in life but I am hoping that its way down the track!!!! I am just sick of having to think about every little thing that I eat and how its going to affect my bsl's. Sorry for the vent!!!
Belfie, can't wait to hear how everything is going, hope you're doing well!!!
