29 weeks appointment
Went for another scan today, baby growing nicely already weighing in =
around 4lb (2.1kg). All well with her. Urine tests said -=20 Glucose +++ Ketones ++ Got the results of the GTT. First test - 6.1 (normal 0-6) Second test - 10.6 (normal up to 7.8) So yes they think I have GD now..........sent me home with a blood = testing kit which I have to do 7 tests a day for a week with diet = control and see how we go. So glad I opted for the tests now. Will keep you all informed of the results next week. --=20 Karen DS 10th Aug 1986 - VB - 9lb 13oz DD 13th Aug 1988 - VB - 10lb 9oz EDD 9th May 2005 - It's a girl !!

Hi Karen,
I am due 2 days after you. I have type II diabetes, so I test the entire pg, and take lots of insulin. I've had type II diabetes for all of my 3 pgs, and all have been healthy so far. If you keep good control, all will be well as you probably already know. KC |

I looked up on a foetal growth chart yesterday how big my baby would be, and for 28 weeks it said 1kg. Triplets were born at 33 weeks the other day and they were all the sizes of singletons - 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8kg. Did you mean 1.2kg? Jo (RM) |

If you could give me some tips on maintaining good health and eating
habits it would be great. With my first pg I kept my levels under really strict tight control, and my baby was actually a little small at first and had some troubles with her blood sugar and temperature at first, so with the next pg we purposely upped what blood sugar levels I was shooting for (95 for fasting and 130 after meals instead of 90 for fasting and 120 after meals in the first pg) and the baby was a better weight and more robust. In my first pg I also tried to keep my level of carbs I ate lower, but in the second pg I ate more carbs. It's easier for me in a way because I always get to shoot insulin to cover carbs I eat, while if you are trying to do it by diet alone you have to be more restrictive of what you eat. If they put you on a diet, and you are still hungry, you can eat as much additional protein and fat as you want without raising your blood sugar values, and alot of veggies have very few carbs too, like salad mix with ranch or blue cheese dressing will not raise your blood sugar unless there is lots of carrots in the salad mix. You just have to watch the carbs. I have also found that some food with alot of fat in them like nuts, don't seem to raise my blood sugar even though there are carbs in them. In general, eating some protein with your carbs helps them to get digested slower, and thus keeps them from raising your blood sugar as much. Also, walking right after meals for 15 minutes will really suck down the blood sugar levels. Walking could be a real godsend for you in trying to control blood sugars without insulin. Good luck, KC |
