Back from the doc

[Yvonne Belisle]

This was a long.....visit! We got there at 10am and got home after 430pm. I had an ultrasound one healthy baby who is exactly where it is supposed to be growth wise. A meeting with the diabetes nurse and a visit with the nutritionist and a visit with the other nurse. Thud.... Now I have to go back Tuesday for an ekg and more doctors and nurses! Then back again the following week. After that it should slow down to once a month I hope. I have lots more bloodwork to do though. :(

What we go through for a healthy baby! hehe
Glad baby is healthy. I saw the pics you sent me. :)

I was reading the other day.. Did you know that cinnamon helps lower bloodsugar? Thought I should tell you.

Keep us all posted on how things go on tuesday! :hugz:

Yeah the dietitian said she never thought she would say this to anyone but eat more carbs. :hehehehe:

IF I dont watch my carbs BIG time, my blood sugar goes through the roof.
I heard that about cinnamon too, luckily cinnamon is carb free. :D
(though it doesnt taste so good without sumthign sweet, lol)
I do have a great curried dish that calls for copious amounts of cinnamon however. yum.
I limit my carbs to less than 50 per meal... about 35... and then another 20 at each snack.
The key is protein with EVERY meal. It will help to keep your blood sugar at a nice even keel.
I never knew that all those things I learned when i low carbed to lose 50lbs would now pay off with my gestational diabetes!
