New news

So at my last doctors appointment I had to do the glucola test, just the one hour, but after the one hour my blood sugar was 202. (My husband thinks I was set up for failure because I was told I could eat before the test but the bottle said 12 hour fast...) So know I have been marked with gestational diabetes. So I was sent to see the dietitian, who has me watching my carbs. So I get 2 carb choices at breakfast, AM snack, PM snack, and bedtime snack and 5 carb choices for lunch and supper. If you know me and my husband you know we don't cook much at home, so this weekend has been interesting trying to figure out what I can and can't eat at the restaurants. To add to that joy, I also have to check my blood sugar 4 times a day, right out of bed before eating anything and a hour after eating, because that's when it's the highest. I also have to check my ketones 4 times a day, before breakfast, lunch, supper and the bedtime snack. And if my blood sugar is higher then 200 twice in a 24hour period, I have to call in to the doctor and there is a good chance I'll get put on insulin, if the ketones are high twice in 24 hours it means I have to have more carbs added...go figure. The other news is that I'm going to go see a physical therapist about the leg pain I've been having, I thought at first it was mostly my hip and then down, but as I've been paying more attention sometimes it's my shin/calf and up. So I wonder what other then stretches I will get, that appointment is on Tuesday before work.
