25 week appt

things are great.

instead of the glucose drink I have to take my blood sugar 7 times a day for a week. EEK. so far my fasting number was 65 and an hour after breakfast (which was really lunch time wise) was 77. says it should be 100-120.

what happens if I have low blood sugar????

I go back in 3 weeks but have to call in my numbers next wednesday to the diabetic lady in the ob dept.

I hope the numbers get more in the scale.

c-section was OFFICIALLY scheduled. 8am Dec 14th!

Good luck- and every Dr expects different things for their patients on their BS numbers.  Mine want fasting under  90 (their ideal is 70-90) and 2 hours after meals to be below 110.  If you have low blood sugar you need to eat more frequently and plan carefully what you are eating.  Oh- and I would have told him to stick the BS monitor where the sun don't shine...no way should you have to do that 7 times a day unless you have a known issue.  (I did fasting, after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner and I wanted to kill someone with just doing that)

yea they want me to do it before I eat and an hour after I start. each meal (the main 3)

I don't really mind that much.  better than that damn glucose drink. lol.

I had really bad hypoglycemia when I was pregnant with Niko. I'm pretty much feeling the same way right now. Protein, protein, protein and whole grains....and I hate to eat a little every half an hour.

This is interesting!  My number was 122 1 hr after breakfast and they want me to start monitering my blood sugars because they say that is way too high. Im starting to wonder if my Dr is clueless regarding my surgery and the fasting glucose test. My 2 hr draw was 78. I have an apointment to look more into it on Friday. They also wanted me to go to some 2 hr class with a bunch of people that have not had wls and learn how to eat as a diabetic. I refuse to go. It would be pointless for me!

25 weeks already? Yay! I had to do the home monitoring as well and had low BS. Ate every hour and a lot more complex carbs.

Glad you have an official arrival date for the baby...and just in time for Christmas!

Hugs,

Im glad to hear everything is good. I have my GD test tomorrow... but im drinking the drink... lol.  All those finger *****s must be a PAIN!!!!  :-)

I am offically scheduled Dec. 15th for my c-section. Good week to have us some babies! :-)  (unless I go into labor earlier then I will just go straight to the OR)

Good luck 

I coudln't even imagine drinking the drink.

A. I don't want to dump, I haven't yet and would like to keep it that way

B. if I don't dump then I know I can have HOW many sugars??  info I don't need to know. lol

I much prefer the finger sticks to that drink at this point.  and from what I understand the glucose drink test is really not that reliable anyway...especially in an RNY patient.
