you can do everything right and still develop gestational diabetes, dont beat yourself up about it. it'll be okay :)
atleast it's a very small needle but I totally ubderstand about being afraid of them. I hope it all works out for you and you don't have to go on insulin! @mrsvelasquez
diabetes is scary. but atleast its only gestational for you
@annabanana2005xx That's something I don't wanna do, the insulin. I am terrified of needles. I'm freaked out just by poking my finger, Lol.
I have gd and am on insulin. it's not horrible. just have to stick myself every night before bed along with taking 500 milligrams of metformin at bed time. you get used to it. and when you go up in weeks in pregnancy so does the blood sugars usually. they have upped my insulin dose a couple times to get the fasting levels under 85 in the morning. it is a pain...but it will all be worth it in the end! good luck!
the hormones are blocking the insulin your body produces. if blood sugars keep climbing you may be put on something...doesn't have to be injections. metformin is something they might put you on. just a pill to take with meals that helps. but your dr will go over everything with you...also as soon as you give birth your blood sugars will go back to normal.
@eskawho I see. I'm not on any medication for it though.
you can do everything perfect and still in the 3rd trimester blood sugars will still rise. I'm diabetic and was on a strick diet eating the same things pretty much everyday but as the weeks went on my sugars climbed and they had to increase my insulin doses. sometimes the hormones will block our insulin even more as the weeks go on and there is nothing we do wrong.
I'm in the same boat. The best thing to do is walk alot
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Locking your doors
We are having a discussion on one of my birth boards from my older kids about locking doors and security alarms. There are many of us (me included) who do not lock our doors at home (I actually don't even have a deadbolt on my house and we don't lock it when we leave either), and others who think that's totally weird. So what do you do? Do you lock your doors? Do you think it's weird that people don't?
I had gd with my last pregnancy and saw a nutritionist who helped me with examples on what to eat. I had to pick my finger after every meal. I was scared at first to do it then it didn't bother me. I'm pregnant again now and not sure if I have it yet since I'm only 8 weeks. Just try and walk and look at sugars and carbs on all the foods you eat. You can even get some recipe ideas online on what to make.
