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!!!
Hi girls,
You are never far from my thoughts. this testing thing is so annoying and unpredictable. One thing i've found is i can count on my bs being about a 4.7 fasting in the morning. Occassionally though i'll get a 3.7 after lunch or tea-makes no sense too me at all.And the way you can eat the same food two days in a row but get a different reading each day. I can't manage to eat any less and i'm sure if i eat anymore salad i will actually grow big ears and a fluffy cotton tail. My reading after breakfast was 8.6.!!I was really angry. I'm in to see my diabetes trio of specialists on wednesday-i think it may actually be better if they put me on insulin this time. Leigh don't spose by chance you are in melbourne at the rwh? Just seems funny that we are being checked on the same day.
I wonder how belfie is going. If she had the baby and when.
Tennykins;hope you are well,as you can tell this whole diabetes thing is freaking me out. Yet i've still got the cholestasis to look foward too!What a riot. Thankfully not to much longer to go-but still too LONG!
Leigh - Good luck with your appointment this week. I reckon all I thought about most of the time was food, or my levels. It takes over and felt like an obsession in a way.
Pollyanna - I was really suprised that the same meals just on different days, give differen't readings too. It's so frustrating I know. Good luck with your appointment this week too.
I totally know what you mean about having the same things 2 days in a row and getting totally different readings. I agree with the salad too, if I eat anymore I will grow big ears and a fluffy tail. I live in Cairns by the way.
My levels this morning have been good so far, but I'll be checking my lunch reading in about 30 mins so it will be interesting to see what that one is.
