Anyone diabetic before pregnacy

[capel]

Oh, GlitterStar and if you read the whole thread, most of it is moaning about hypos ...

 

[pink23]

I hate doctors and prescriptions makes me mad. I used to just get my midwife on the case lol.
Good news jaybear about your hba1c.
Ive just downloaded my blood sugars onto computer and 30% are hypos, 50 % in range and 20% above. Just wish they would go away. I had a small turn today luckily oh was on hand but the lucozade did go everywhere.
Ive got the eye people 22nd so im hoping theres no treatment needed and we can ttc.
Hope everyone is well and hi :wave: to the newbies xx

I don't try to understand them. I have all written down, how many injections I do per day, how munch insulin, neddles, etc I need for a month. Maybe then they will stop giving me trouble

Silly doctors - they should take one look at you now and realise - I think by the end I was taking 3x my pre pregnancy dose. I've had to drop my insulin at night again now as I was having hypos in the night and ignoring Kirima who was crying - luckily DH helped me sort it out and also helped the baby feed.

Nemo that is quite a birth story - glad you managed fine. Hope you will succeed with the breastfeeding - its tough but in the end what matters is that your baby is getting food in.

GlitterStar hypos are the bane of pre pregnancy diabetics and something I've very seldom seen mentioned on GD posts. I can deal with the occassional high, but any hypo is too many - I hate them.

Still no news from the police and I doubt we will ever see our car again. Our neighbours emigrate tomorrow and we are keen to follow them - they have been in an armed robbery/hijacking too. We have ut some precautionary measures in place and are slowly settling down again. Thanks for the thoughts.

i had to have a review because i wanted 4 boxes of hypo stop gel things as the hypos were bad at the start. Docs are stupid at times!! Its not like i enjoy eating it!!

Those hypo gel glucose things are vial - DH kept asking me to get more too, luckily I was usually so out of it when he used them that I do not remember too well tasting them.

Capel not much longer to go - are you all ready for your little one?

Nope, nothing much. I have the pram (had to buy a new one because the one I had with DD the wheels melted in the loft). I have clothes (from DD and two nieces) but are not washed. Nothing else. But now I am on maternity leave so planning to get all done now.

quick update, had my second growth scan and baby is spot on dates. Following the same line (50th) since my 20weeks scan.

And sorted my prescription with the GP, but they are stupid. They made me have a cholesterol test. Today the consultant said that it doesn't mean anything because we don't acutally know the limits during pregnancy, so waste of test. But as I had to take blood for the hba1c anyway, not a waste of my time. I would have gone crazy if I had to go to the hospital only for that one test. Like I don't have enough apps.

Capel so happy all is on track! Do you have one for on 36 weeks? You don't have long at all! Very excited for you. I can't remember if you mentioned it before but do you know the sex?

My sugars are a MESS. I am not even bf-ing but having so many hypos. One when feeding baby but luckily mum was here. It's so bad. And I wake up with major highs. Today I woke up with 18.4. I am doing my best to control but I just don't know what's happening. It's like the 1st tri all over again. Guess it'll take time to adjust.

 

[capel]

It is a little girl I was confirmed today. And 6 weeks to go. I need to see the consultant next week to sort it all out. And yes I have one booked for the 14th of July.

And Nemo I think your body was used to all the hormones now it needs to adjust again.

How exciting capel and a little girl to xxx

 

[Lincoln Girl]

capel- yay for a girl and fab news about growth xx

 

[Jaybear5]

Great news Capel...Now long till she will be in your arms. Well done hun xx

I seem to be struggling atm....Constantly hungry which is making it hard to keep sugars down. Have put my insulin up by a few units but it dont seem to be making much difference....Hoooo Hum! x

Jaybear love the pictures in your signature.

Thanks Hun xx

 

[pink23]

all your pictures are beautiful. I love the 4d ones xx

 

[Lincoln Girl]

i seem to be hungry all the time too jaybear. The way i do my insulin is quite good tho because i carb count i can just have extra insulin each time for the extra food. Hope things get better for you xx

 

[capel]

I am finding quite hard to carb count now. Because my insulin needs increase all the time, it's two things changing, the carb and the ratio. So now I only eat 30g or 60g and take double. Less calculations

omg i wish diabetes would just go away,
In parts it was my own fault getting caught up with work but a lovely hypo decided to happen at work. I work in a & e so was in the best place but i ended up in a cubicle , seeing a doc asking what had happened and then being discharged. I know I shouldnt feel embaressed but I really did.
Im starting to worry when I am pregnant again that It will take control of me yet again.
Hope the lovely bumps are progressing and your weekend has been fab xx
