^naku sis gelyn, balikan kita sa tanong mo bukas Bukas pa kasi BPS ulit ni baby e. Check namin AF nya ska yung weight.. Ako di ko kasundo ang brown rice sobrang pinoy ata ako at mahilig sa white rice talaga hehe

[foxy_girlfriend]

sis try mo yung long grain na rice.sa diabetic care center sa MMC ang nirecommend nila sa kin is either brown rice or long grain para low in glycemic index daw.

[alessabanana]

^ sis, san nakakabili ng long grain rice? as in ordinary rice lang ba yan?

sis kasheica, my cardiologist prescribed aldomet 250mg sakin til now umiinom pa din ako for my hypertension. Pero since uminom ako super kampante nako kasi yung BP readings ko nagnormal na. Takot din kasi ako sa pre-eclampsia e..

Sis alessabanana

Are you hypertensive before pregnancy? What's your average BP reading? Ako kasi me hypertension at diabetes since 2009....pero 1 month before I got pregnant my endocrinologist prescribed also Aldomet 250 mg 2x a day. At least, kampante ako na safe for pregnancy ito kasi 2 doctors (internist at OB) na encounter ko eh parang nagugulat sila ng malaman na Aldomet ang med ko..ang comment nila ay mahina daw ito but so far my BP has been below 120/80 since April 2013.

Grabe pala talaga ang rice makapag pataas ng sugar.. Nag lunch ako wala pang 1/2 cup ng rice and chicken adobo.. And when i checked my sugar nasa 161!

[gelynbalantac]

Sis cherry*coke,oo nkakataas white rice sa reading.yung brown rice eat ko,pero experiment ko p..kasi first two readings ko parehong 119,then last two readings ko 136 at 144 na..ika third day ko p lang kasi now..mya check ko again..sana hindi mataas..

[kasheica]

 Sis gelynbalantac & Sis cherry*coke

Are you checking 1-hr or 2hr after meal? If below 120 after 2hours, that is fine. If nasa 140 naman after 1 hr, as per my Endo, normal lang talaga mag-spike after 1 hour of eating.

I've read an article before, that a hot white rice has a higher glycemic index than a warm one.  Natawa ako noon, but I've proven it yesterday that it is indeed true. Grabe yon pag-iisip ko kahapon. I asked myself what went wrong why my BS remained at 148 after 2hours..

Am conscious with the amount of white rice that am eating and almost same quantity all the time ...tapos sangkatutak na nga gulay ko pero tumaas talaga ang matagal bumaba..so ayun have to refrain from newly-cooked white rice na...eh mahilig talaga ako sa hot meals..if malamig less appetite.

  ...well just checked my 2-hour post breakfast now, 148 ito..resulta ng mainit na white rice..eh healthy naman kinain ko 1 pc chicken at sayote na gulay

[cherry*coke]

^ sabi kasi sakin nun dietician.. Check ko daw sugar 1 hour after the first bite.. So that's what i do.. Iniisip ko nga parang too soon para magcheck.. Inask ko pa ulit.. If it's an hour after meal or after the first bite? Sabi niya 1 hour after you started your meal..

[kasheica]

^ sabi kasi sakin nun dietician.. Check ko daw sugar 1 hour after the first bite.. So that's what i do.. Iniisip ko nga parang too soon para magcheck.. Inask ko pa ulit.. If it's an hour after meal or after the first bite? Sabi niya 1 hour after you started your meal..

  ganyan din ako dati...sabi ng internist 1-hr after meal..eh minsan 187 ako lalo na if more carbohydrates nakain ko...so, I felt sad and always in frustration then 2 weeks ago, I finally consulted an Endo..

ENDO: why are you checking after 1-hour?
ME: Because I notice my BS is always high after 1-hour
ENDO: not because you feel or think so..it is normal for BS to spike that much 1 -hour after meals.

BUT the truth is, it was an internist advise to check after 1-hour. I just didn't told him in defense of the internist cause both of them are from the same hospital.

At least napanatag na ako..one time kasi  napahagulgol talaga ako sa iyak kasi for 2 consecutive days almost 200 yon 1 -hr  after breakfast ko..sobra worried ko kasi makakasama sa baby at inis na rin kasi matindi na nga diet eh nagkaganoon ba..sermon inabot sa mister ko hehe

You check after the 1st bite not after eating itself..kasi minsan paano if mabagal ka pala kumain at inabot ng 30 mins..sabi ng nutritionist sa Makati Med Diabetic Care, dapat 15 mins lang ang tagal ng pagkain mo..hope it helps

[gelynbalantac]

Sis kashieca & sis cherry*coke,ako after two hours ng main meal at pre breakfast,3x a day lang ako test. Kanina after lunch 112 ako brown rice,mga two tablespoon lang then tofu,bangus and okra. Ngayong dinner halos ganyan lang din eat ko hehe..check ko agen after two hours. Unang subo start ng time,si endo nagsabi sa akin na ganyan gawin ko pati yung two hours,maybe because of my bloodtest na two hour post prandial b tawag dun basta ppbs para may mga basis siguro sya. Then may midnight snacks pa ako,eto ineexperiment ko p kasi lagi mataas pre breakfast glucose ko..advice din ni endo to

Medyo mahina nga yung aldomet pero yung daw yung best for pregnant women saka yung mga ttc.. Ako din always 120/80or below ang BP ko.. pero syempre todo bantay pa din cardio and OB ko.. lapit na kasi e.. crucial daw yung last month e..

[alessabanana]

Sis alessabanana,wow bigat na ni baby:) ako yan yung goal nmin ng immuno ko. Last july 19 nasa 1.2K na si baby ko,dapat maging 2.5K daw.

sis gelyn, naku sis 33 weeks plang si baby dapat hinay hinay sya sa paglaki hehe Sobrang thankful ako na healthy pa si baby sa loob.. Counting my blessings na lang Naku sis, baka dahil sa steroids mo kaya tumaas sugar mo? Ako din laging gutom recently.. hirap magtimpi! di bale konting tiis na lang.. Praying for you and your baby sis

Sis kashieca, nalimutan ko pla sagutin.. di ako hypertensive prior to my pregnancy..

[gelynbalantac]

Should i be alarmed 600 grams binigat ni baby in just two weeks? 1893 grams na sya now,29 weeks pa lang ako..target is 2.5K. Mukhang malalagpasan ko p yun. Advice ni endo diet lang muna ako,if sa monitoring maraming 140+ in two weeks na palugit nya sa akin,insulin na ako. Kaya lang in two weeks time,hindi kaya lumobo p ng todo si baby?

[foxy_girlfriend]

sis cherry coke what hour ka ba nagfail sa ogtt? ako kasi sa first hour lang nagfail kaya 1 hour post meal ang pinacheck sa kin and sabi ng endo ko less than 130 dapat yun. (sa lagay na yun ndi na sya strict kasi iba daw less than 120 or 125 daw)

One time nag209 ako 1 hr after bfast. first time ko nag 200+. kakameet ko lang sa endo ko kaya di ko pa yun narereport. sakto OB checkup ko pinagalitan ako at she asked me to contact or meet with my endo ASAP.

I'm glad sa care na binigay ng endo and OB ko. I go to my Endo kahit ndi pa naman sked ng check-up if lagi ako nagffail. Baby was closely monitored thru weekly BPS with NST. binabantayan talaga namin weight nya. Kahit pa yung last estimate ng fetal weight nya is 3245g +-474g nung lumabas sya 3090grams by normal delivery. If hindi nacontrol sugar ko pwedeng na CS na siguro ko or worst....

[foxy_girlfriend]

sis gelyn ako nangyari in 1 week 400 grams inincrease ni baby. that was the time marami akong over 130 sa 1 hour post meal ko.
inincrease ni endo yung insulin ko. if nagaalangan ka sis kahit 1 week lang punta ka na sa endo mo. one time supposed to be after 1week pa pupunta sa endo kaso ang laki na naman ni baby based sa last UTZ kaya I met with him just 3 days after my last checkup.

[cherry*coke]

Ang weird naman! I have the same breakfast everyday, peanut butter toast. Pero mas mataas ang sugar ko this morning!
