I have type 2 diabetes and the truth is I don’t know where I got it. I am not really into sweets but I got my gestational diabetes when I got pregnant with my eldest. Since then, my blood sugar is hard to control. Now that I am pregnant again, I am very careful and watch my blood sugar regularly. During my blood test, my blood sugar is out of control and I went to my Endo at Medical City and the only way to control my blood sugar is through insulin. Since on 5th week, I am already taking insulin. The truth is, my numbers is in a control stage. I can eat everything with moderation. My doctor told me that I can’t eat fruits for 2 weeks and so far follow it for the first week but later on when I have cravings, I also give in but in a small amount only.
I am using a Flexpen Insulin and so far its easy to use. Today, when I woke up, my blood sugar is 95mg/dl and this is the first time ever that I got that number. I feel so good. 🙂 I know that I have nothing to worry because God is in control of everything.
I know that I should not deprive myself with food I wanted to eat as long as it is good for the baby. I hope that my blood sugar will stay controlled for the rest of my pregnancy and I hope that the baby is healthy.
I am on my 7th week now, too early for the ultrasound. I can’t wait to feel the movement. I am sleepy most of the time and I have this cravings sometimes at night so I let my husband get it for me and I’m happy that it’s not a weird cravings.
