shoo shoo gestational diebetes...

yoz, its been some times since i last blog.... my pregnancy is in my 26th weeks, which is 6 and half months le :). lil fellow is active. he has started to show his kicks and boxes... i enjoy seeing my tummy jerking side to side and lumps out of tummy... i really enjoy thou maybe little discomfort...

yesterday i went to my gynae for a glucose tolerant test. i was supposed to fast overnight then take blood then drink a very sweet syrup and test blood again 2 hours later... result is not good! my reading showed 11. which it is supposed to be below 7 lor.... thus my gynae is very concerned. she said that very high chance that i need to do insulin injection if the glucose level is this high. i am given 3 weeks to try out diet control to see if my glucose can be controlled.. if no, i need to inject myself with insulin.. yak!!!

how to test blood? i am asked to buy a glucometer, poke myself 6 times a day, twice a week, to check my level ad keep record of what my reading and what i eat... thru this, i realise that i am a 'live to eat' person.. feeling so miserable with this cant eat that cant eat kinda situation... haiz!!! Lord, please help me to get the glucose under control... i dun wan to do the insulin injection... please....

i was in the verge of having gestational diebetes too when i carried yongen and yongqi.. thus they were big babies... in fact due to this problem, my kids are not supposed to take too sweet stuff cuz their risk of having diabetes are higher than normal people... my gynae told me that my this lil fellow (in my tummy) will be a big fellow... his size now is 1kg and equivalent to 27th week pregnancy baby!!! she said he will sure hit 4kg and hopefully not too much beyond.. else i may need c-section!!!! Lord, help me to able to deliver this lil fellow naturally and may the delivery be smooth and good. Please protect him. Let him be a healthy and wise child. Thank you Lord, in Jesus name i pray, Amen!
