The gynae called to inform me that my blood test and
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test results are out, and i have diabetes! A
normal person's blood/glucose level is 7.8 and mine is 8.5. =(

He said to see his partner (whose taking over his duties while he's away) next week, and they'll let me know what to do. I hope i wont be needing any insulin jabs. The thought of it is making me faint. Meanwhile, i'll have to cut down on sugary stuff (which i love) and avoid carbohydrates (eg. rice, noodles, potatoes). He said to eat more meat and whole wheat bread. For someone who dreams of eating up
every ice cream sundae on Facebook, this is a real torture!
Just barely 3 more weeks, and baby Joel will be out. Hmm...i dont know how it will affect him since we're in the final stages of the pregnancy. =(
Did a
search (click)...and possibility of having obsese babies is higher to diabetic moms amongst others. And here's some info about
changing my diet (click).I'm a little worried now. And also imagining the worst - that my waterbag will break before Elvis or Gynae Tham comes back!!!
(I believe most pregnant women worry about the waterbag thingie too)Anyway,
please pray for us. We can only leave it to God now...and stay away from Ben & Jerry's.
