Gestational Diabetes ( Thread 2)

[miss ira]

Just done with my OGTT today. Overfasting ako ng 45minutes pero still carried on with the procedure. the orange drink was too sweet and gumuguhit sa lalamunan like alak..haha.. Buti nalang hundi ko naisuka and nakaweewee din ako. nagworry ako kasi last na kain ko is 8pm and even water wala dahik i thought even tubig bawal, nagulat pa ako na along with blood extraction is urine sample. Buti nalang madami dami yung orange drink, naihi din kahit papaano.. By 9:35 am, I'm done na then went to jollibee for something to eat. by 11am, nakaramdam ako ng lightheadedness na napunta sa hilo once na nakaupo or tayo ako. Super kinabahan ako, had to text my OB and asked for advice. Eat and rest lang ng normal lang daw.
Anyways, I am so depressed to see the results. Mataas sya lahat,

Fbs 79.65 (70.10 - 98.93)
1 hr 179.84 (89.92 - 165.42)
2 hr 159.30 (76.18 - 130.55)
3 hr 133.89 (54.96 - 116.00)

Talaga namang nakakadepress lalo na nung nasabi ni hubby na he would get me a slice of chocoalte roll just for one time to ease my craving once na okay ang results. Too bad wala. Out of depression and dismay, I had to see my OB today kahit bukas pa sched ko to see her. She saw me n talaga namang depressso she had to tell me na it's actually borderling and not the case na tipong need ko maginsulin but since it is not her  specialty, she wold still refer me to an endocrinologist para mapagusapan. She said na ang normal for pregnancy for 1hr =185; 2hr=165 and 3hr=145. She wants me to see the endo tomorrow then go see her after to tell her I met him and everything went well.. If hindi ko maabutan will have to text her.. Relieved pero hopefully it will go well bukas.

Hello. 28 weeks na 100G naman yung pinainom sa akin kahapon and first time ko. Pinastop na ako ng enfamama milk and start calcium instead. My sugar level pre and post meals are within, weird lang kasi sa OGTT antaas. I am not really a sweet eater na halos 100G ang consumed a day. But because my PCOS and history of diabetes kaya siguro ganto. So far, continue pa din ako with my diet.  NO walks for me though as I'm having premature contractions pa din so almost a month na ako bed rest and still now with duvadilan on the side 2x. Kaya talagang hirap magburn agad agad dahil nakahiga lang lagi. I eat sweets pero small servings; sa simple sugars todo iwas talaga.

Two weeks ahead ka pals sa akin sis Wow! Parang isang bottle ata nung orange drink yun???  I have PCOS rin sis prior pregnancy. I remember I took metformin before pero di ko tinatapos. Hahaha. Like a month lang tapes wala na. Then may time rin nag provera, diane 35, and althea ako. 4 years in the making baby namin. hehe. Kung kailan di naman expect dun dadating and blessing talaga And I was just recovering from pneumonia + asthma at that time kaya gulat rin ako. Oo nga! Baka yung fasting mo is ang baba. Thats why siguro sis kasi may history ka talaga ng diabetes. Tiis tiis nalang Halos 12 weeks nalang. Will pray for you and your baby Ako last night di ko alam if nag gas pain ako or what. Sobrang sakit ng puson ko tas pati buttocks and lower back ko super sakit kagabi. I think from walking too much. hehe.. When I woke up today wala na siya masyado. Yung pain naman gas pain and nag-stop kasi kinausap ni hubby si baby talagang dun siya tumutok sa tummy ko. Nawala narin sakit. hehe.

sis plumpista I had like 3 different OBs before finally found my current OB, the first 3 was no help in regulating my period. Luckily, our clinical instructor referred me to my current OB whom I have personally assisted in the OR during our clinical duties in college. So far so good, ayaw ako basta bigyan ng gamot. She had me take provera then put me on pills lang(low dosage) until I'm ready to get pregnant-- she will give me meds that will help me conceive but Thank God after 6 months of stopping pills, I got pregnant without taking meds as well.

Update ko lang, met my endo kanina and I am relieved kasi palabiro and talagang he gave me instructions na talagang well detailed. He will not put me on insulin, based sa results ng OGtt ko mataas sa pero yung first hour ang focused nya (179 mg/dl). I am on a week diet with monitoring 1hr post bfast and hr post dinner. every 3 hours ang kain ko so hindi na sya yung normala na bfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. 1/2 cup rice, 1 cup veggies and if I don't like magkanin--- 2 slices of wheat bread.for fish and meat, half ng size ng palm ko ang pwede ko iconsume. Balik ako sa kanya after 2 weeks, hopefully all goes well.

^Ako rin sis mga naka 4 siguro akong OB pero hindi pa naman planned at that time yung pregnancy ko. Di naman kami nagmamadali pero si hubby medyo naiinip na kasi mag 3 years na kami at that time pero wala parin kami nabubuo. At least you found someone na talagang inaalagaan ka na OB. Minsan talaga pag di mo expected dun talaga dadating. hehe. Blessing indeed yan

[miss ira]

Mga sis mayron ba sa inyo nagtetest an hour after breakfast ng sugar nila? 137 mg/dl kanina ng magtest ako, as instructed na an hour after bfast. I did a research online and it says na after breakfast specially an hour after is talagang mataas daw dahil sa sluggish ang dugo sa umaga. pero just to be sure has anyone tried taking their sugar level an hour after breakfast? if mababa, ano yung kinain nyo? mine was 1/2 cup brown rice, mushroom with ampalaya and half sunny side up egg (137 mg/dl)

[foxy_girlfriend]

^ako sis. tuwing nagffail ako usually 1 hour after breakfast. niresearch ko pa kasi isang slice lang ng whole wheat na loaf and this spread ng sugarfree na peanut butter kinain ko.
kala ko dawn phenomenon. when I asked my endo. it could be because of the hormones dahil buntis tayo.

geez.. si hormone n naman! hayz.. any idea kung ilan dapat ang acceptable or usual range an hour post breakfast? I'll have to try 2 slices of wheat bread and sausage bukas.

[miminibebe]

^ang advise sa kin sis is basta dapat below 140 mg/dl 1 hour after meals.

[katd]

Kailan ba nadedetect ang gestational diabetes? Pwede na ba mangyari yun sa first trimester? Kasi puro sweets kinakain ko.

[foxy_girlfriend]

buti ka pa sis miminibebe, ang limit ko less than 130 daw dapat. sabi ni endo hindi pa daw sya strict nyan kasi 125 daw sa iba.

^sis hinintay ng OB ko na mag24weeks ako before ako irequire mag OGCT. may lahi ba kayo sis?

[miss ira]

^ang advise sa kin sis is basta dapat below 140 mg/dl 1 hour after meals.

kainis nama this morning I had 2 slices of brown toast with egg and 100g baked beans on top. whooping 155 mg/dl 

[foxy_girlfriend]

hehe ako mataas din this morning 151. highest ko ever. 1 monay, manipis na cheez whiz at half pisngi ng manga. tsk tsk!

[miss ira]

naloloka na ako. hindi ko n alam kung ano kakainin ko.. hindi kaya yung egg ang culprit? kahapon I had egg din sinamahan ko ng ampalaya with mushroom ayun 133mg/dl. makpagbackread nga ulit mamaya para matry ko bukas for breakfast. kagabi naman 2 hour post dinner 100mg/dl sugar ko

[foxy_girlfriend]

^egg and ampalaya? san ang sugar don? hmmm....must really be the hormones kicking in. ako kasi pag tumataas ako post breakfast nagcheat the night before like isang serving ng regular yogurt na matamis.

[miss ira]

  well isnt bawal din ang oily sa diet? sunny side up and margarine kasi ang ginamit sa pagprito kanina.. nakakparaning na. lahat n ata ng kainin ko pinagdududahan ko na. ampalaya nad okra nalang ata ang hindi. Okra though is proved ko na okay saken, kaso naubusan  pero di ba sis kung ano kinain mo the night before and try magtest before eating is nasa normal? So dun talaga sa kinakain natin. Hinahanap ko right food talaga for morning since sluggish sa umaga.

[foxy_girlfriend]

may allotment naman ako for fat, 20%. true normal ako night before and before bfast. naglakad lakad pa nga ako for 5mins after bfast over pa din ako kanina....tsk tsk

[miminibebe]

^sis mataas ang sugar ng mangga hehe.

Sabi din ni diabetologist ko, pag nagagalit, umiyak, or basta nastress, nakakataas ng sugar.  And habang nagpprogress ang pregnancy, mas mahirap siya icontrol.  True enough, mas madami ako fail nung nag 3rd trimester ako hahaha.  Nagkasipon kasi ako, then nadepress, nastress.

Madaming bawal kaya ang hirap.  Konting tiis na lang ako... 4 weeks to go!

[foxy_girlfriend]

^ugh! i love mangoes!
