Okay I've been away too long. I said this was going to be a daily blog update and I'm missing about a week a half already. Here's the deal. I went to my last doctor's appointment to do my first glucose test and it came back high. So I went back to my doctor to do the 3-hour glucose test and WHAM! it came back high too. Last Tuesday I went to visit a diabetes counselor and have been learning to eat differently and getting used to testing my blood sugar 4 times a day. If I ever complained about pregnancy being long or hard then I was just being a big wienie, because now I have to stick myself 4 times a day, very seriously plan out all 6 of my meals and stick to a diet that I'm not 100% familiar with yet. I know there are worse things but pregnant ladies LOVE food and the ones that I LOVE are off limits now. :(
So I went back to the doctor today and he likes the way my blood sugar reading have been looking. He's allowing me to go from 4 sticks a day to only 2, although I can continue with the 4 if it makes me more comfortable. I'm just neurotic enough to probably continue with the 4 sticks for a while longer so I probably will. Anyhow, tomorrow I'll start back with my "Whatcha Eating?" posts...I know you're all curious. The diet isn't hard its just that I actually have to stop and think about what I'm putting in my body and how often I do it.
