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.
my levels have been shiat lately!! this morning woke up (i finally slept in!!) and they were LOW!!!! Then i decided i wanted fresh pineapple... hmmm NOT a good idea.. sent my levels through the roof .. i am sure my insulin will be upped on thursday not much more i can do.... 16 more days till i meet my boy (unless-which i am praying) i go into labor before then...
I am for you that you have bub early, that way you don't have to put up with GD any longer. My first bub came 3 weeks early, I am hoping this one will come early too but some how I doubt it. I am already having it at 38 wks due to having to have another caesar, so I've got exactly 5 wks from today. Time is going to drag, I just know it!!!
Tennykins - Thanks for wishing me luck for my appointment this week. All I can think of is food. I feel like eating something now but have to wait til I do my test. We have a block of chocolate in the fridge that I could easily get stuck into but of course I cant.
Leigh - I hated the waiting for testing time. In the end I was eating little bits of dark chocolate or that lite cadbury one. I couldn't resist and not have any. Have you tried any?
Katones - Not long to go. COME ON LITTLE BUBBA, YOU CAN COME OUT NOW!
I am a chocoholic but haven't tried any yet. Might buy some of the cadbury lite one on Friday when I go grocery shopping. I am dying to have some ice cream too coz the weather is soooo hot up here, once again too scared to try it. I know everything is trial and error so I should just give it a go and see.
.. i am sure my insulin will be upped on thursday
