GD support thread

I have lost 3 pounds so far but I don't contribute that to the Met. It's because of the new GD diet I have to follow where I can't just eat a donut whenever I want :cry: Lowering my carb intake is what has made me lose weight.
 
I lost 2lb in the 2 weeks between endo apts and that was due to less carbs and sugar. Doc said tabs might help weight loss too. Will be interesting to see.
 
Ugh I'm craving meatloaf and mashed potatoes! Of course I didnt crave starchy food before being diagnosed with gd. Any low carb alternatives?

You could make mashed cauliflower mock potatoes.

A small piece of meatloaf should be fine. Look for diabetic meatloaf recipes, there are tons out there :-)
 
doodar - has the hospital given you any advice of what they will want to maintain your blood glucose levels at during the fast pre c-section. I know you'll be on drip but do you know what level they want to stabilise your sugars around. I have asked at mine and they don't give an answer - plus I wouldn't be taken in night before, it sounds like they just expect me to fast!
 
Did the usual cheese on toast with morn for brekkie and got a 7.5, higher than usual. Had taken my thyroxine in between fasting and post brekkie. Doc told me it wouldn't make a difference to my levels but this is the second time and it def does make a difference. Think I will take it after brekkie from now on.

Hello ladies,
Been busy, so just reading up date, doing okay insulin dose have stabilised for now.
Marley I am sorry to hear induction with catheter is off the list, hopefully you go into spontaneous labour yourself, but even if it's got to be section, healthy baby is most important.
 
Well ladies after being told my waters could be broken on tuesday evening I got to delivery suite on Thursday at 10.40am. I was in established labour from 6.30pm and fully dilated at 5.50am (friday). They gave me 2 hours for her to desend and started psuhing at 8am. I've never worked so hard in my life but nowt happening so off to theatre it was for me. Poppy May arrived1/6/12 at 10.50am weighing 8lb 5oz not a bad size for term plus 3 x x

I went back into the hospital yesterday after heading out to my chiropractor. I was driving then I felt a weird, painfujl feeling in the left side of my head. I started throwing up an cughig, trying to catch my breath. I was completely miserable. As I was at the hospital, I had no blood work done, sugars were fine before I went. They didnt check for ketones. I was sent home with an inhaler and anti nausea meds. I proceeded to go through with my oldest daughters birthday party and it hppened again, lasting 45 minutes or so. It was almost like my brain was seizuring and I cant catch a break with this pregnancy. I was thinking maybe its a blood pressure issue but now I'm still sitting here wondering......
