Re: GD check in.....
Growth ultrasound for me today and on the 31st I go for my diabetes management class since being diagnosed with GD.
Bring something to read they tend to be boring after the first 5 minutes.
I'm on my last week of work before my leave...I'm looking forward to being home and having my feet up (swelling is no fun).
New to GD- what is a NST scan? Things are good here. Learned yesterday after a very stressful day at work that stress does increase blood sugar. Now I have to RELAX too???
Hope everyone has a good day!
Morning!
I had a rough morning with my numbers. I was super upset and emotional last night and "treated" myself to three chocolate chip cookies (33 g.) and a glass of milk. Um, it didn't go so well. Even with my meds, my fasting sugar was 108. CRAP. Won't do that again
Should be picking up my meter today. The doctor called in the prescription yesterday but CVS didn't have any of the meters on hand. There are 3 CVSes within a block of my office -- I clearly picked the wrong one.
I'm eager to get started, at any rate.
I treated myself to an icecream cone and boy was that a BAD idea!! 2 hour later my numbers were 132!!!!! Then my fasting numbers were 103. But after breakfast it was 88. Which seemed super low to me for having ate 2 hours before. What I find super weird is I had a cupcake with frosting the other day and that was perfectly fine for my numbers. Strange.
I totally treated myself to a cup of coffee today. My disposition went from wanting to break things to puppies and rainbows almost instantly. If I felt comfortable having that much caffeine everyday (which I don't) I think I would be a much happier pregnant lady.
PS I had 10 piece chicken nuggets and a Caesar side salad from Wendy's last night, and my 1 hour was 103! Go me!
Not much going on here either - I have 7 days left of work so I am trying to get things finished up as well as argue with our HR lady about my maternity leave. I read through every policy and plan summary we have and nowhere does it state 6 weeks. It states that there is a 7 calendar day waiting period and STD will pay up to 26 weeks. She can take her 6 weeks and shove it.

BFP #4 5/29 EDD 2/9 - please be our rainbow
Congrats ashpierce - she's a cutie!
No major things going on with me today... I think I may grab a Chipotle salad for lunch. With easy beans & rice, my numbers seem to do really well after (less than 115 an hour after) or I may save that trip for tomorrow.

Not much going on here either. Pubic pain seems to be a bit better today. I had pre-natal water aerobics last night and I think that helped a bit. Had my last OB appt before the induction (9/1) yesterday. I'm 2cm and 50% effaced. Plan is to go in at 7am next Tues and he'll start Pitocin and break my water. I'm nesting horribly and just can't wait to meet this little guy! GD #'s have been looking great - my fastings are the best they've ever been. NST yesterday looked great also.

thanks! Chipotle sounds awesome, I may have to make a trip
Congratulations -- she's beautiful! And glad you're fine now that she's born, hope we're all that fortunate.
I've actually started a GD blog (just for fun). Link is provided below in my siggy.
My numbers have been good today - but its my first full day with the monitor.
I am still trying to get this whole "high risk OB" referral figured out.
Hello everyone! Note to self... do not experiment twice in one day... LOL! Yesterday was crazy so I am back to being strict and same ol ol.

I had 1/4 cup of Hagen Daaz chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream last night- it really wasn't a lot, but enough to satisfy my craving for ice cream. ?My numbers were fine- my fasting this morning was actually 88. ?I think I am going to have to have a non-sugar-free treat before bed every night!
The rest of today, however, was not good. ?For breakfast I had eggs (blahhhh) and a half of a banana nut muffin. ?My 2 hour number was 138. ?(I think I need to cut that muffin down to 1/4 from now on.) ?I didn't have a snack in between lunch & dinner due to some family craziness and the next thing I know, my number was down to 75. ?I had a cheese calzone for lunch (GOD WAS IT GOOD!) and my 2 hour number was 168. ?I am now dreading eating dinner. ?I have grilled chicken, mixed veggies and this creamy alfredo macaroni thing in my frig. ?I think I'm going to load up on the chicken and veggies and maybe skip the macaroni. ?Maybe then I will be ok for an after dinner snack..... we shall see. ?But I hope my number is good!?
Hello, I'm doing fine. I meet with the dietician today. I've been following the GD diet based on what I remember but I can't wait to talk to someone cause there's a lot I've forgotten since DS was born.
I'm also having some issues with insurance covering my supplies. Hopefully, that will get straightened out as well.
