GD support thread

I've been naughty this morning and had a glazed cinnamon doughnut. Balanced it with an egg though, so curious to see what happens to my levels.

I've also been naughty! we were at asda, and it was lunch time, it was packed, so we went to McDonalds..........my blood sugar after 2 hours - 4 I expected it to be through the roof, but after that I was walking a lot, and drank 2 litres of water to, so might have helped there.

But a smack over the knuckles being bad

This is my second morning with a low fasting (2 days ago it was a 60 or 3.3) it was 64 or 3.5. Two days ago I figured I could be naughty since it was so low (pancakes and syrup) but it went too high.

Almost looking forward to seeing the diabetic person on Monday to see what they think of my numbers, since no one has seen me about them yet!

Gonna have a sensible breakfast then after the appt see how much I can really push the line.

BusyBee - looking forward to your result! Please share! Are you a 1 hour tester or 2?


I swear last comment for right now! 2 months from today is my due date can't believe it's getting closer and closer (which of course it would)

Glad it is going well. I am worried about starting them if my readings aren't high. I am eating all I want to eat at the moment and not going hungry. I was lOoking forward to having a binge after some insulin. I am sure it will come soon enough.

Hehe I missed lunch today as I was in hospital for ketones. My hubby forgot to pack my sandwich in my lunch box so I had a bigmac and fries for dinner and my 1 hr post was 6.7! I just wish I had enjoyed it, but in actual fact the burger was gross! Lol

I would test more but at the moment its a bit difficult because I only have enough strips for the tester to last me a couple of days as I am waiting for my diabetes card to come that allows me to get them for 5 dollars (australian) rather then paying 80-90 dollars (australian) for them.

You have to pay for them?????????

yeah thats what I was told anyways, but someone I know who just had a baby and had GD said she didnt have to pay. So I'll guess I'll see.

My readings ysturday was 3.9 before breaky, 4.2 after breaky, 4.0 after lunch.

So I thought I might try a small iceblock after dinner for dessert but then I got my reading after dinner and it was 7.5 which is above what they want me to have so I decided it was best not to have any snack/dessert after dinner.
Then OH decided to tell me "we need to buy more honey because I just the ENTIRE jar in tonights dinner." :O
No wonder my reading was way higher then all my other readings these last few days. I drank alot of water and went for a quick walk and within 15 minutes it went down to 6.5 which is better then 7.5 :S

I had to have my doctor's office negotiate with insurance to lower my cost to $90 american for a 3 month supply (all that's left of my pregnancy). Definitely have to pay for strips and lancets
