Re: GD Weekly Check-In
My numbers have been great (diet controlled) and I'm down a few pounds to pre pregnancy weight. (Was only up 5 when I was diagnosed, after 29 weeks of hard work.. eating healthy and daily excercise. Started this pregnancy 25lbs overweight and wanted to be very diligent. Super proud of myself)
I don't get that much blood out of my left fingers.. It's annoying. So I have to poke twice, or just stick with the right.
Guilty pleasure is coffee. It's my favorite. I use half and half and a TBS of Belgium chocolate powder. I can also do a skim mocha from my favorites mom and pop shop as a snack.
My levels have been pretty good so far but not so great on days that I am travelling for work by car. The drives are long and so my timing is off for eating because once I arrive I have to get to work. It's just making managing GD so much harder. Days I'm working from home I do great! Do you find it harder to manage your GD or eating times on the weekend?
Guilty pleasures include pound cake lol I've been having a slice here and there but nothing too crazy and my levels are in control.
@Vivian0809 I also just stick to my left hand because it's hard to get blood out of my right. It's definitely taking a toll on my fingers lol
Like a cow. I've only so far gained 9 pounds over my original starting weight. I guess you could say I have gained about 20 though since I lost weight the first two trimesters and then gained it all back plus nine.
Rants/Raves/Confessions?
We FINALLY found the magic number of insulin units I need to take to get my fasting blood sugar under 105. So I have to take 2000mg of Metformin a day plus 54units of Lantus
My confession is today after my OB appt I stopped by Dunkin Donuts and got an iced caramel coffee, and a strawberry shortcake donut croissant which was amazing.
Recipes/Food Ideas?

@AnastasiaBeaverhausen09 dang that really sucks. When I 1st met with my GD dietician, I asked if at some point I could not test 4 times a day and she said it really depended on the doctor. She asked who I had and when I said, she said that OB usually didn't let up on it. I ended up changing to a midwife a few weeks ago due to several issues I was having with my OB, so I think if I would have stuck with my OB I would've had to test 4x/ a day. My midwife is quite a bit more supportive and lenient with everything.
Did you ask your doctor if you could reduce how many times? I'm the one that brought it up to my midwife.
At least we're almost done...
