so i went to the dietician. i learned what i can and can't eat. RULE: if it looks good i can't have it! that was the general jist of the appt. i have my carb. allowances per meal and how often i need to eat and how often i need to check my BSL(blood sugar levels). i thought i was going to have a problem with the food........ha ha ha. it took me almost a fricking hour to prick my finger. i am a pud. my hands were soaked with sweat, my hands were shaking. i finally took the needle out of the poker and poked my finger myself. that little clicker scares the hell outta me. i sooooooooo need to get over this, i need to check my BSL 4 times a day. the dietician has a STRONG feeling that when i go see my o.b. on thurs she will perscribe insulin to me. we are going to try to keep it at bay with diet for a week first. HOW IN THE HELL will i give myself a shot if i cant even prick my own damn finger? again, i am a pud!
they scared the hell out of me too. but you do learn to do it because it's what you have to do. Stick close to the diet, remember Natural sugar in fruits is bad too. stick close to the diet and you may be able to skip the insulin, i did. I hated the pricker, but i got use to it. Place you finger, shut your eyes and expect to jump when it goes off. i remember my fingers being so sore

The positive is that you won't gain very much more weight, so it is going to pay off. Don't worry, EVERYTHING will be fine!!!

Just pull out Mile's ultrasound pics when you have to do this, stare at that sweet lil face and remember how worth it all this extra crap is going to be!!
