Nikki
Can throwing up a lot make it any worse?

 

[Nikkilewis14]

And just so u know, my sugars are in perfect range!!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Throwing up can cause ketones and stress on the body, and stress can definetely raise blood sugars!! It has something to do with andrenalin rush and stored sugar that sits in our muscles waiting to be used, into the body ...so yes def!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

If im nervous or really upset about something, i get faint and sweaty and i think my sugars low...so i will check my sugar only to see my sugar is way over 200 from. The sugar dump...no fun! I tell my hubby not to upset me because it raisesmy blood sugar...the one time i proved it to him and he beleives me now and doesnt purposely try to upset me lol

 

[Kaiecee]

Cuz I can throw up to 3 times a day sometimes so that really sucks

Ill b using that one on dh tomorrow

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Good! Its true too, im not bullshitting u lol...

Even when i go to amusement parks i have to take extra insulin bc of the adrenalin rushes, its crazy lol

 

[Kaiecee]

Omg I didn't know it was that complicated

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Oh yea having diabetes sucks... No one in my family has it..i got it from when i had pneumonia ( the virus killed the cells in my pancreas that produce insulin) and was diagnosed on my 15 th b day.. My moms like,but shes not overweight! Then they explained i had a diff type of diabetes where my body produces no insulin at all....

Gestational is different bc u still make insulin ur body just dsnt know how to use it properly so by limiting foods and some exercise can help with that....but the concepts of each type are similar!

Great news!!

 

[sassy_mom]

Yay! Glad to hear it Betheney!

 

[DittyByrd]

Had my first childbirth class tonight which was enjoyable and my spotting is waning!

 

[sassy_mom]

My ankles are swelling tonight. Ugh! I hate that feeling. I don't have them propped up but I am at least in bed. DH had to work until 2am tonight and I have a hard time going to sleep without him here. However, I'm going to have to break that .... he got an interview today for a new job that pays more and is a wonderful company. They need someone immediately and he has everything they are looking for. It is between him and 3 other people. It also happens that he has a certification that no one else did. Right now, money is so tight it has us both a little stressed but I know things will always work out. We will know a definite answer by tomorrow. You girls send some good thoughts our way. We could really use it. The only downside to the new job is he has to start on night shift and would most likely be working 11pm-7am. Not terrible but I hate not sleeping next to him. But I can get use to it. He was on night shift before and I managed it then.

Oh please let this work out!!!!!!!!!

Thinking of you guys and hoping it all turns out to your best convenience!

 

[Lillian33]

Oooh fingers crossed for your DH Sassy!!

Betheney that's such great news, so pleased you had such a good outcome

Ditty, really glad your spotting has eased, I know how scary and annoying that can be

Melly, hope you wake up feeling loads better

Ducky and Jrow, glad you had good showers and Jrow, fingers crossed for power soon.

I have another growth scan Thursday, I really hope my boy has a growth spurt, my doc said he is smallish but nothing worrying at this stage, come on little man, grow!!!

Betheney - Yey to feeling good & having a great appointment Keep an eye on those symptoms if they creep back though

Ditty - Glad to hear the spotting is easing

Nikki & Kaiecee - I know it totally sucks that you guys have to deal with the diabetes, but wow it's pretty interesting stuff. Our bodies are so complex, it's fascinating how they react to different things... Hope you get the hang of it Kaiecee & it's doesn't make you to stressed & miserable

Sassy - Sending lots of prayers & positive thoughts your way for your DH!

Lillian - I have my appointment tomorrow to decide if I need regular growth/doppler scans like with DS. I'm hoping I won't as this one feels bigger to me.... grow little babies grow!

 

[BlossomJ]

Arghhhh! I just noticed someone (assuming DH) has eaten my last slice of stollen! I wouldn't mind, but he doesn't even like almonds & says it just tastes of sugar... what a waste!

 

[Betheney]

what is this stollen you speak ok?

 

[BlossomJ]

Betheny - It's sooo yummy & fattening!
