    Yes! It does get better, it took my body about a week to figure everything out. I kept nuts and a cheese stick handy at work as an emergency snack to get me to next meal. Now that I have a schedule, it seems like all I do is eat, but really I am eating less and blood sugars are great!  Don't give up :-) it will be worth it soon.

    This is how it was for me too. It took about a week and then your body will be used to it. Good luck!!

    I was STARVING all the time! Eat more protein! I'm eating PB sandwiches and english muffins for lunch or snack. I also like cheese on triscuits, mini pepperoni sticks...

    It's tough, but you can do it!!

    I still get that feeling if I go longer than three hours without eating.  It stinks.   My nurse said to eat more protein snacks throughout the day.  Inbetween the carby snacks.  I had large keytones in my urine.

    I go back tomorrow morning for a check-in.  I hope they are better!  I feel like I have been eating non-stop.  I am SO sick of food at this point.  

    Wow...never thought I would type that.

    Yeah...my pics were so old. I got 3 kids. Nuff said. :)

    My Mom made me chocolate chip cookies when I was in the hospital after having DS. BEST thing I have ever eaten. Seriously. :)
