^ 4 times a day sis (before breakfast, after breakfast, after lunch and after dinner).  Pero ngayon since pumasa nga daw ako.  Ang “before breakfast” ko, every 3 days na lang.  Tapos alternate yung iba like for example, today – after breakfast and after dinner.  Tapos tomorrow, after lunch lang.  Salitan na lang talaga.  Mababa pa din naman, thank God. 

sana ako din less prick na after ng follow-up check-up ko this saturday. at syempre, sana maganda din results ng urinalysis (plus ketones) and blood test (BUN, Crea, Na, K, TSH-IRMA) ko bukas para masabing pasado din ako. haha

After a few days of insulin (mga 2 weeks), tinanggal ko na. Binaba namin pakonti-konti pero ang baba talaga ng fasting number ko. 75 na kanina without insulin so stop na muna. Sabi ng endo ko, pag over 95 ibalik ko daw 2 units lang para pakiramdaman tapos unti-unting itaas kapag mataas pa rin.

Career mode na to and talagang conscious na talaga ko sa pagbawas kasi home stretch na. Sabi sa akin suggested date of delivery nung nagpa-NST, 38 weeks so less than a month na lang talaga. After nun na lang ako kakain.

^ gutom ka ba sis? kasi yung headache, isang symptom siya ng low blood sugar.


=======================

badtrip ako sa endo ko... sabi niya 1 week ago, dapat  < 95 yung FBS ko tapos < 140 after meals.. 90% of the time, pasok sa < 95 and < 140 yung sugar ko. nung nagkita kami kahapon, ni-encircle niya lahat ng > 130 sa monitoring ko. tapos gusto pala niya 60-89 yung FBS tapos < 130 yung after meals. naloka lang ako bigla kasi ginagawa ko naman lahat para < 140.

tapos ayun, tinanong niya ako kung nagugutom daw ako sa 1700 kcal/day na diet. sabi ko hinde kasi minsan tolerable naman yung gutom... tapos tinignan niya yung urinalysis ko.. may ketones daw. so sabi niya nagugutom daw ako kasi yung ketones, napo-produce yun kapag gutom. kaya tataasan niya yung diet ko to 1900 kcal/day.

mabalik tayo sa monitoring.. it showed na mataas blood sugar ko after breakfast. ang diet plan ko for breakfast is 1 serving each ng fruit, meat, rice at fat. hindi ko naman nako-consume lahat yan, usually meat/rice/fat lang. kaya ang ending, 2 units ako ng insulin before taking breakfast. haaay. nakaka-stress itong GDM.

on a bright side, ok naman si baby namin sa non-stress test saka BPS. kasi mino-monitor na din ng OB ko ang fetal activity every 2 weeks dahil dito sa GDM ko.

wala lang... ang gastos lang magka-GDM. hahaha

^ ang tindi naman ng endo mo sis.  ako basta <95 before breakfast at <140 after lunch or dinner, ok na sa kanya eh.

pano yung stress test ng baby sis?  and yes, magastos nga pag may  GDM.

^ kaya nga e... i just listened to her and set my target to <95 and <140 for an entire week, only to find out na ang gusto niya pala 60-89 yung FBS ko and <130 after meals. kaloka!


yung NST kaya lang siya pinagawa sa akin ni OB, para i-monitor lang yung fetal activity and tignan kung meron ako contractions. it's just a simple test that checks how often the baby moves and kung nag increase ba yung heart rate kapag gumagalaw siya. sinabihan kasi ako ng OB ko na isang side effect ng GDM is tamad gumalaw yung baby at kapag di siya gumalaw, punta na ako agad ng ER. hehe


sa NST, you'll just lie down on the bed and there are 2 probes that will be attached to your belly. the first one measures yung heart rate then the other measures the contractions. everytime you feel your baby move, meron kang i-press na button. the test lasts for about 20 minutes. :) yung results nun parang graph. so syempre, kapag di mo pa oras manganak dapat walang contractions ang ma-log sa graph. hehe

^ sinabi mo pa... kung hindi ito covered ng HMO ko, PhP3900 din yung NST saka BPS sa makati med. e every two weeks advised ito pinapagawa sa akin. on top pa ng gastos sa insulin, test strips para sa GDM. waaaaaaaaaaaaah

^When I read your post, gusto ko na tanungin kung Makati Med ka. Naconfirm lang suspicion ko sa last post mo. Ganyan din ako. Except <90 fasting and <120 1 hour after meals na gusto nila ng OB ko. Nung una <95 and <140 respectively. Dun sa diet plan, tumataas din dati sugar ko after breakfast. Dun ako lumalampas so tinanggal ko fruit exchange ko. Paulit-ulit na rin breakfast ko everyday - scrambled egg, 1 piece of toast with butter or all-natural peanut butter. Nagstart na rin ako ng weekly NST 2 weeks ago. Pero dahil yun malapit na due date ko. I'll be 36 weeks this Sunday.

Nag-insulin na rin ako pero long-acting for my fasting number. Noong nagstart yung gusto nila <90. Pero tinanggal ko na din and nagbawas ako ng food talaga throughout the day. Natakot kasi ako sa gastos sa delivery pag natuloy yung pag-insulin ko. Sobrang magmamahal kasi. After nun, nagdiet na talaga ko and no cheating na whereas before, I would indulge from time to time.

Ang gastos talaga! Tapos feeling ko nung nadiagnose ako ng GDM, bumagal yung takbo ng oras. :) Para kasi akong pinaparusahan. :) Parang takot na nga ko masundan tong baby ko. Sabi ko kay hubby ayoko na muna. Kung sakali, mahabang pahinga ang kailangan ko. :)

^ you are absolutely right about the fruit exchange sis! yun talaga ang culprit sa after breakfast ko. there were times that i would eat 4 pieces of grapes (e kasi yun ang nakalagay e) and my blood sugar really shoots up! sometimes i want to doubt yung dietitian kung tama ba yung mga combinations sa diet plan because it doesn't work at times even if i follow them on point.


i'm off to MMC nanaman today because i have an appointment with the diabetes care center para sa recalc ng diet ko and insulin administration instruction course. again, with a fee. di ba?! mygaaaaaad, PhP150 and PhP600 respectively para lang sa short talks na yun.  :o :o :o

Grabe ang higpit ni Endo nyo sis chimponzi and dreamweaver83.  Di bale para naman kay baby. :) Sa akin <90 before breakfast and <140 after meal/s.  Once a day na lang din ako kung mag check ng sugar.  Pero kapag napapa rami ng kain, voluntary na akong nag che check kahit hindi scheduled.

^Actually, yung mahigpit yung OB ko. Okay na kay endo ang <95, <130 (bumaba based on new guidelines yata) pero sa OB ko, gusto niya <90 and <120.

^^I don't really follow the diet plan anymore. Feeling ko sa ilang months ko nang ginagawa, may rough idea na ko kung anong okay sa hindi. I've cut down on fruits na rin talaga. Kapag kumakain ako, less than the allocation na nakalagay dun para lang may allowance. And I balance carbs with protein as much as possible. For me yun lang yung trick eh. Pag gulay lang and konting meat, tumataas pa rin so pinakamarami kong kinakain, meat exchange. I'm also on 2000 calories/day. Not sure paano nila kinocompute yung allocation. Parang gutom na ko nun sobra kung 1700.

^ sis, yung insulin mo ba is yung parang pen-type? feeling ko kasi hindi ko nai-inject ng maayos yung 2 units ko kasi after siya mag-0 sa dial + 10 seconds before i pull the needle out, may residue sa injected area. hindi tuloy ako sure kung leak lang yun or part yun ng 2 units ko. :(

^ ano ba talaga basis ng endo na dapat mag insulin ka?
takot tuloy ako.  bukas may check up ako sa endo.  twice ako lumagpas sa limit nya

isang before breakfast - <95 - result - 98
isang after breakfast - <140 - result 143

:(

^ nung first week ng diet ko, 90% of the time pasok talaga ako sa <95 saka <140. tapos nung follow up check-up ko, bigla ang gusto ng endo 60-89 tapos <130. kung ano yung basis niya para mag-insulin ako, di ko natanong. hahahaha


pero sa akin kasi, ni-pinpoint niya na after breakfast tumataas yung sugar. >130 yung sa akin.. e sa calculated diet, konti pa lang naman ang kain kapag breakfast. kaya ayun, sabi niya before breakfast lang ako mag-iinsulin. yung mga numbers ko kasi ng lunch and dinner < 130 halos.

I think nag-iinsulin pag sunod-sunod na di mo macontrol. Since nagddiet na tayo, ayaw na rin nila sobrang icut down yung food kasi kailangan ng baby ng nutrition so pag ganun, nagpprescribe na sila ng insulin.

^^Pen type din yung sa akin before. Yup nangyayari din yun even if I follow the 10 seconds. Kumusta naman sis? Um-okay ba sa 2 units?

^ ok yung breakfast ko sis... kaso nahihirapan ako doon sa after lunch saka after dinner. sabi doon sa diabetes care center, 5 hours yung effect ng insulin.. so kapag after lunch saka after dinner, >130 yung reading ko. breakfast lang siya may effect.


di ko nga ma-get yung logic kung bakit tinaasan yung diet, nadistribute kasi yung 200 additional calories sa lunch/dinner, tapos kelangan <130 lang yung blood sugar. tsk.
