Dean & I spent most of day at the hospital for my diabetic education appointments. The first lady we met with had very bad communication skills and it about drove me nuts. But we got the information we needed from her so that was all that mattered. I am on a 2100 calorie diet which is probably more than I eat now and I have to eat 3 meals a day, 3 snacks a day and check my sugar four times a day. Now for me eating 6 times a day is way too much food. Sure I used to overeat and all but not in 6 meals, maybe at one meal I would eat too big of a portion. So I asked her if I had to eat snacks in between meals and she said yes because it keeps my blood sugar more stable. So I think this diet will just make me gain more weight but we will see. Since I have been watching what I eat my sugar has been good. I have to fax the specialist my sugar readings in a week and if they are still high he will put me on medicine but for the last 2 days the levels have been fine. So who knows. They said it takes 3-5 days for your sugar to lower once you change your diet and well that’s about how long its been since I stopped the sugar so hopefully I wont have to take medicine to control it, that is my goal anyway, the dr seems to think I wont be able to since my readings were so high but today and yesterday they have been good, so we will see.
This new diet thing has Dean watching his carbs and sweets and I am sure it is good for him. We tested his sugar a little bit ago and it was great so I guess he is fine but I am sure eating healthier wouldnt be a bad idea.
I got another dreadful leg cramp last night. It’s been about a month or so since I had them really bad so I am not quite sure why I got one last night seeing as I took all my supplements and ate my banana. My leg is still sore from the cramp last night. So I dread waking up tonight with one. Hopefully I wont get another one, we’ll see.
My mom comes tomorrow! How exciting! Well kind of, I am sure it will be somewhat stressful, she will fuss about my sugar and what I eat and no doubt make numerous coments on my weight seeing as she hasnt seen me since January and then you couldnt even tell I was pregnant so she will probably be in shock for a while. But I look forward to seeing her. It ought to be a nice visit. I hope Dean survives it! He always gets mad at me for getting so crazy about having the house nice when she comes and I think this time is worse because I think she will analyze more because the baby is coming soon. But the house is in tip top shape so it should be okay. Now I need to rest, it’s been a long eventful day. I’ll try to write while mom is here but if I dont get to it I apologize ahead of time.
