yes bagsak lahat 3hr test pati FBS ko. kaya monitor ako 4x a day. once before breakfast them 3x after breakfast/lunch/dinner.

yup sis nikki, may meal plan ako. 1/2 cup carbo lang pwede, veggies unlimited, water lang as much as possible, crackers as snacks, tigilan ko na rin daw pag kain ng kanin tuwing midnight. yan ang hirap ako. :(

^sis, OneTouch Select yun binili ko kanina after ma-discharge sa TMC. Actually, yun endo ko nag mention nun and may flyer siya sa clinic na hiningi ko-- kala ko kasi coupon for discount. Introductory price Nya is P1,835 with 25 test strips na. May device na rin kasama for pricking but I still have to buy yun lancets/needles separately. P540 per box of 25 test strips if u want to buy extra. Yun lancets I bought parang generic brand Lang nasa 2 pesos something per piece. The flyer was from med express but I was able to buy from mercury, same price and yun nga raw and pinaka-mura pero very easy to use. Very compact yun meter and comes with a case to store kasama ng lancing device and test strips. Was able to get my blood sugar level kanina 2hrs after lunch at Hindi naman nag error :)

Btw, 4 units of insulin worked on me. Successful naman ang level ko after dinner and breakfast so yun ang inject ko daily. Ang Napansin ko Lang ang Bilis talaga magutom so u have to stick sa diet and sa meal plan. Nag skip kasi ako ng bed time snack pano hindi ako dinalhan sa room and I couldn't sleep. Hubby was at work and he had to drop by around 1am. May sched dapat ako ng test at 2am so sabi ko sa nurse, 1am na lang so I can eat pag dating ni hubby. Sobrang bumaba at 78 kaya this morning nagulat yun endo Muntik na raw ako mag hypo something. Sinumbong ko nga yun meal services lol :)

Napahaba na ang kwento. I'm just happy to be out of the hospital. :)

congrats nikki nakalabas ka na din hospital:) oo nga nagorder nako ng glucometer ng select sa clinic ng endo may nagiwan ng number ng sales rep sis. but 3 take 1 ang 25pcs na test strip so makakamura talaga ako. may option to exchange your old glucometer (horizon kasi akin now) ro select but you have to buy 50 test strips for 1080. tumawag sakin yung sales rep inoffer yung buy 3 take 1 so nakakasave ng 1 box ng teat strip for 540 worth din kapag sa kanila daw bumili. Hindi na ako nagdalawang isip kasi yung horizon ok naman namamahalan lang ako sa test strip eh mas latest ang select saka mas mura so ok na din for me.

im so happy from 4x a day 3x a day nalang monitoring ko at every two weeks nalang kami mqgkikita ni Doc. Kapag sa next visit very good ako sa monitoring once a month nalang. Enough din daw calories ko kasi negative sa ketones urinalysis ko. Kapag positive daw hindi enough napupunta sa baby. Pero pinapakuha ako mga blood test to check my thyroid just to be sure. Inask kasi ako ni Dra kung constipated ba ako. Ang sabi ko Dra parang nagbago nga. kasi nung 17 weeks ako maliban sa uti naospital ako dahil sa pre term labor i remember it well conatipated ako kaya umire ako habang nagpupu mailabas lang. Now, 5x a day ako magpoop naninibago ako. Pero not naman lbm, frequent lang talaga. Baka daw bumilis metabolism ko kaya check thyroid hormones good for me nadin kasi kapag undetected problem sa thyroid namamatay baby sa third trimester. May thread dito about it yung i gave birth to an angel kaya ok nadin miski ano pa yang mga lab test na yan basta negative.

sis m_lim mahirap sa u pisa lalo if magana ka na kumain. ako one week palang nagmomonitor pero more or less natatatsa ko na if mataas ba sugar nung certain food or not. kaya mo yan!

ask ko lang if may mali ba sa glucometer na gamit ko, im using On Call Plus, kagabi kasi ng test ako at 148 ang result, eh hindi ako makapaniwala kasi ang konti naman ng kinain ko tapos for the past days eh 121 lang ata pinakamataas ko and rest are 115 below. so inulit ko right away tapos from 148 eh naging 138 within 2 minutes interval of testing lang?? bakit ganun?? :o

sis baka nga kailangan na macalibrate glucometer mo. or palitan? kasi sa one touch na brand free lang magupgrade to a higher model. kung 2 mins lang, d naman siguro bababa agad agad yun unless nagwalking ka. pero common sa GDM mataas after breakfast. ako nga nasa below 130s daily biglang kanina nag187! kaya pala antok na antok ako. nag 5am mass kasi kami ni hubby bawal pala magpuyat kaya tinanong ko sa nurse tataas daw talaga pag d ka nakatulog maigi

It's my 2nd day of self monitoring. Bigla nman ako nalungkot sa result ng after dinner ko nag 128 siya. I take insulin 15mins before dinner and then blood glucose test 2hrs after. I'm listing down naman what I eat. Actually, hubby and I ate outside kasi I really wanted fish. I had my usual 1cup rice, small daing na bangus and 3 pcs ng adobong pusit, half orange for dessert. Hay.. Not sure what caused it, Baka nasobrahan ako sa ulam or the orange :(

^in my meal plan sis, I'm allowed 3/4-1cup rice same serving naman if I had to substitute brown rice according to the Nutritionist. There's one time din kasi sa hospital na 2 slices ng wheat bread nag shoot up din pero after breakfast naman yun. In fact, mas marami pa nga yun rice serving sa hospital compared dun sa serving kanina. I also asked my endo if i should lessen nga to 1/2 cup pero ayaw niya. We'll see.. Observe muna for now. It could also be the timing of my insulin injection if this continues. I have my next endo check up sa Wed.

weird nga mga sis. ako kasi tumaas agad nung 1/2cup white rice. pero nung nag congee ako sa Le Ching, ang baba naman. eh ang laki kaya ng serving nun.

kaya takot na ako mag white rice kasi feeling deprived ka na, tataas pa sugar mo.

tingnan ko nga pag wheat bread.

sis design21 grabe ang taas nga ng 187 mo, good to know na sign pala ng mataas na sugar pag inaantok hehe at na nakaka taas din ng sugar ang puyat, actually night shift duty kasi ako noon nung nag 148 down to 138 ako,, sa akin baligtad naman, sa gabi tumataas ang sugar ko,,  ::)

papa check ko kay hubby yung glucometer ko ,, tamad kasi ako mag basa ng manual at chungak ako sa pag fallow ng mga manuals haha  :P

sis chiz_06, kaya mo yan sis, ako nag pacheck up kanina at base daw sa mga home test results ko eh ok na daw yung sugar readings ko, maintain ko lang daw ang diet,kaso nakalimutan ko ask ob ko if kailan ako mg papa ogtt ulit kasi gusto ko malaman if effective ang diet ko :) iba pa din kasi yung blood test sa hospitals.

mga sis,  nakaka pag pataas ba ng sugar yung quaker oat meal (quick cook)?  ??? ???

kasi yun lang naman ang dinner ko, although  i put some dried fruits (mostly dried grapes) at dried unsalted nuts (almonds,hazelnut,cashew,pistachos),tapos biglang ng 142 sugar ko!

regarding sa wheat bread, i now totally agree, ng snack ako at isang wheat bun lang kinain ko, tapos ng check ko, aba nag 122 naman ako.  :'(

may naka experience na ba sa inyo nito?

^flavored ba yung oatmeal? dapat hindi nakakataas kung plain kasi wala naman lasa yun.

kung mataas parin kahit ang kinakain mo hindi matamis, need mo mag insulin. yan explanation saken ng endo ko

^pareho tayo sis. malakas loob ko kumain kasi alam ko bumababa ang readings ko once mag diet ako. meaning, hindi ako insulin dependent. pero patay ako sa endo ko.

ang hirap kasi talaga magpigil, nakakabaliw!
