Prego Update!!! Diabetes and Insulin

Feb 1st

Gestational Diabetes!
I had my wonderful 1 hour Glucose test, and did not pass with a low 147. Not bad but still had to redo my test L a 3 hour test!
My 3 hour test sucked! They made me drink double the amount. After fasting over night I did not pass the first test by just 1 point. Ugh! I took a blood test every hour for three hours after failed all three. My highest was 214. So failed 4/4 that day.
So now I am on a diet to help control my sugar, and checking my blood during the day. I only get to failed test in one week before I have to go back in. Started this Wednesday and failed my 2nd test last night L but I am going to give it one more time. If I can not keep it under control I will go on Insulin.

INSULIN

I started my insulin today. 2 shots a day, with breakfast and lunch. I take a fast and slow acting insulin mix with both sets unless I don't eat breakfast then I drop the fast. I did great with my first shot I gave myself. It did sting, bleed a lot, and bruised. My dietician/nurse who showed me how said I did it too hard. And well why I bleed who knows…its just me…I bleed when I check my sugar. I forgot a dinner had to stop eating and I let hubby give me the shot. He is an RN, so its his job when he is home! My sugars have been great today, it works fast!!!
I feel good about the insulin…and my sugar levels. Going back for lab work in a few weeks liver blood work was off. UGH more blood! But all other labs looked great!!! And they did tons of blood work…tons!!! I was shocked on how much they took! So good good news!
I now can eat more at dinner! Go me!!! And No more mid-night snacks…unless I am up then it would be best to drink some milk or eat some cheese. But That won't happen.

Not happy with the insulin and shots...I do have more emergy on them, at times. But insulin is kicking my butt!
Before shots I am shaky, I don’t feel good, and my nervous are on edge. So bad! I never want to eat but I have too, all I want is to drink and eat when I want and what I want.
After shots I bruise, bleed, and it burns real bad! I get a head ache all most immediately.
I do have more energy, and I am less sick. Its best for me and the baby. But it sure does suck!!!
