Congrats Megan on the arrival of your healthy little man! It is nice to see proof that we won't all be pushing out gigantor toddlers

Sloane - great that you avoided the temptation of chocolate last weekend. Wasn't difficult for me as we never buy easter eggs. I spose that'll change once bubs comes along.

I started insulin yesterday and so far its made no difference to my readings. I am on a very low dose, just 4 units twice a day so there is room to increase that if my bsl's dont reduce over the next few days. I take fairly high doses of asthma medication and I've just read on the packet that this medicine can interfere with the insulin, and will often require larger than normal doses. Great . Guess I'll just see how it all goes. I did try snacks before bed but it made little difference. My fasting reading in the morning is usually good anyway, it all goes haywire after breaky and again after lunch. After dinner is usually ok. I'm taking the insulin after breaky and lunch so I should see an improvement there. BTW, injecting with insulin is completely painless! Much much better than testing my bsl!

I presume that most of you are registered with the NDSS to get your testing strips and lancets etc? Well I was too, but I had to reregister when I went on insulin!! I'm quite frustrated by the whole set up of this organisation. I mean, my doc prescribed me the insulin which I got from my local chemist, but I had to drive 120km to a NDSS accredited chemist to pick up the needles! How stupid is that?? Why can't I just get them from my chemist? Would be so much easier.

I have an appointment with a new midwife at Lyell Mac hopsital, in the northern burbs of Adelaide. They are a much much bigger hospital than the one I had previously booked into, but they do sound nice and I've heard little else but praise for them. I am little worried about the two hour drive to get there but seeing as I'm 99% likely to get induced at 38 weeks I guess that wont be a problem.

Hope everyone is well
