Had my first visit with diabetes educator and got my glucose meter today. I start testing and keeping food diary tomorrow. It's not as scary as I thought since I got the diagnosis but still gonna be a big adjustment. Also had u/s and baby girl is measuring right in target estimated at 3 lbs 7 oz right now next u/s in two weeks!

    It's really not that bad. I've been testing my sugar levels 4 times a day for over two weeks now, and it's been okay. It's still a little confusing, as my Doc said some foods can spike blood sugars at different times of the day. So sometimes the same food will read normal and other times it reads high. So it really is an adjustment. Good luck! Make sure you exercise too. It really helps.

    Thanks, well my first two numbers today were great. My fasting was 75 and after breakfast was 86. I ate a slice of wheat toast with pb and a glass of milk. Just got done with lunch, ate a grilled chicken sandwich minus top bun and a can of Diet Dr Pepper so I'm anxious to see what my number is next check. I'm checking 2hrs after 1st bite of each meal and already got my timer set. I think the hardest meal is gonna be dinner but I'll figure it out...I CAN do this!!!
