I hate this

[ross1112]

I don't know what to do anymore, my blood sugar is getting too high, and I'm stressing out about it, the doctors increase my insulin but is not helping, I've been crying and I don't even want to eat anymore so it won't get higher :((((

[mitch_14]

I hope it stabilizes for you soon. Do you have much longer to go in your pregnancy?

[ross1112]

I'm only 12 weeks, that's what's killing me, my fingers hurt because I have to monitor it, and my thighs have a bunch of bruises because of the insulin

[mitch_14]

Oh no that's a long time to deal with it. Hopefully they figure out something that works so you won't be as stressed

[ross1112]

:'((((

Hopefully a dietician can help you aswell. What a terrible thing to go through during such a special time in your life. Fingers crossed it lowers, you arent under such stress, and that your pregnancy goes smoother and healthy for both you and baby. Hugs.

I feel your pain.. minus the insulin... I got sick 2 weeks ago and my sugar levels have been out of control... im scared ill be put on medication at my next appt..

[ross1112]

And the thing is that I don't think I need so much insulin, is just me trying to eat better, but right now is so hard, I don't eat a lot and not like before, cause everything makes me nauseous

[mckaylas_momma1018]

I just feel like food is the enemy and dont want to eat anything...

What type of insulin r u on? Were u diabetic before? I had type 2. It was a battle but I got it under control. They reduced my metformin and r reducing my insulin. I now only monitor it twice a day

[CedesMarie]

Id definitely try to eat healthy , exercise lightly, and track blood sugar... You have a long ways to go! Good luck to you

[ross1112]

I don't know what type of insulin, I just know that I'm takin one that is regular and the other one nph

[14yearslater]

You might need a long lasting insulin at might that works doing the day also. I take Novolin  and i don't need anything else and i eat what i want. Everyone is different but you may benefit from a long lasting insulin good luck

[14yearslater]

Also you might need another doctor.  I had to switch because the first one wanted me to take a lot of insulin that would have me bottom out and low blood sugar can be as bad as high blood sugar

[ross1112]

Yeah I wanna change too, but the thing is that since I'm in a high risk clinic, and there's one doctor, which he's the main doctor and all the other doctors report to him, and he only goes for a couple of hours on Monday, and this lady that is seeing me, she's the one that is suggesting me takin a lot of insulin and is actually higher now that I'm taking it than before, I don't like her, but some Monday she's there by herself

[ross1112]

I'm gonna wait for the main doctor on Monday to talk to him about that insulin that you're taking, I wanted pills first but she put me on insulin right away

[ross1112]

Yeah I just check, that's the one I'm taking, novolin r and novolin nph

[14yearslater]

The pills was what i was on first before i was pregnant i don't know why they don't want us to take the pills. I would talk to the main doctor too. You don't have another hospital to go to. I live in the city and I can think of 4 high risk so that's why I was able to switch.  I hope and pray it works out because it can be stressful and I don't want that for you and your baby. Good luck

[ross1112]

No I live in jersey, but since I had a lost last year and they know everything is more comfortable for me there, but on Monday I'm gonna have to talk to him

[kcwayman]

Why are you just on insulin have them try other meds. I did much better when they put me on metformin and glyburide than I did on insulin. Tell them you want to try other meds maybe this is not a good fit for you. Drink only water and protein protein protein. I have Gd with all 4 babies.

[ross1112]

I'm gonna talk to him on Monday about those medicines

[MrsGomez24]

I am too a diabetic...im 9 wks 4 days and what i have been doing is walking and drinking chia seeds before each meals and it has worked for me...try it it might help you too and i was told not to inject my thighs that it is more effective in love handles cause it doest have to travel that much good luck hope it gets better

[ross1112]

How do u do the chia seeds? And I'm walking 10 mins after each meal but is been raining so I haven't been able to walk

[MrsGomez24]

I drink them...i drink one full glass of water with 2 tsps of chia about 10 minutes before each meal...what that does is form a gel in the intestines and does let the sugar fall all at the same time it takes more time and distributes it slower

I am battling the same issue but for the last three weeks I have been doing well.  I take Novolin N and Novolin R. I found that the issue was more food than the dosage.  As the pregnancy progresses the doctor told me I may require more but i have been balancing good on 20 n and 10 r in the am and 12 and 12 at night. Yogurt and fruit juices were running me high but the doctor taught me to gauge based on my fasting results to either increase or decrease my dosage by 10% my snacks have been fruits like bananas oranges and apples and saltine crackers. It's hard at first but once you get into it you will be fine.
