Hi, I followed a low carb diet with gd and was able to keep bgl in good order. I would suggest nuts, vegetables and berries. Be careful with the low carb recipes online as most if them weren't low carb but last I was this site does loads of low carb recipes that could really help her.

It is your right to refuse this until they tell you why, you can refuse any medication that you feel is not necessary (the rat poison they make you inject is one that I refuse.) If you don't feel like that is something you agree with or understand why, then give them a call and tell them unless...

Change milk for soya or something too as that raises me as well. I have a cheesy omelette for breakfast and a cup of tea (with soya milk). Or I have Greek yogurt with a spoon of peanut butter and some blueberries or I make a smoothie with the yoghurt and berries and that is soooo yummy. If I...

Hi, congrats. I'm awaiting induction date for my 8th baby... they will be active, they can attach a lead to baby's head once waters have broken which allows you to walk around and as baby's head comes down you know it by how much of the lead has lengthened lol. It's come on a long way since my...

I have been updating what happened on a different post, basically my diabetic midwife is really nasty and doesn't recognise lchf as anything but an eating disorder. She was insisting that I eat pizza and chips and chocolate and cut down on veg and salads etc... I refused as I knew my bgl would...

I think they are more worried about the lows... I think they want to make sure you don't have a hypo while driving and cause an accident... highs don't really effect me, only when I'm coming down do I feel yucky.

Go to your gp, your bg are way too high and the thirst is your body's response (trying to wash it out,) which in turn creates the need to urinate more. As to your other symptoms I'm not sure, could be a combination of both lowered bp and high bg. I would get this sorted a.s.a.p.

OK, came back and am in now, ketones in urine had them scares 3+... ketones in blood 0.8 bgl 10.6... guess this is what they want?! They still want me to get rid of ketones in urine though!!! I know stress has put me up but my fasting bgl was 4.0! Really tired and feel very vulnerable. But...

My husband was able to come, but he was shocked, they told me I could leave but would need to sign a form... never brought it, told me I could eat toast I agreed they never brought it... my husband was shocked at the fact it was like a prison... no way to leave without the midwives permission as...

32wks 5days.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, they just did another finger prick test, bgl 3.2 ketones 3.3... but then again I haven't eaten since 8am. Kind of like pumping someone full of sugar and getting worried that their bgl is rising! I am waiting to see the Dr... I did ask to leave but so far they...

@NicoleC1971 and @PenguinMum thanks, I really don't know what to do, they have put me in a labour and delivery room... I saw a midwife who isn't looking after me and didn't know what's going on, I told her and also said I was feeling anxious, I was telling them since I got here (1:40pm) that I...

We'll they admitted me! That diabetic midwife put her foot down and undermined the Dr who told her she was wrong! I really don't know what to do... I even agreed to add carbs!

They're saying it should be below 0.6... they are bringing me in tomorrow to redo, they want me to add carbs and raise insulin to combat carbs... Dr did say that midwife mistook the "acidic" environment as ketoacidosis which he said I wasn't as I wasn't on enough insulin even for euglycemic...

I have just been checked, I had +4 ketones in urine and they were concerned so I made this statement... they checked my blood ketones and it's high... 2.2mmol bgl 4.2mmol...

If that's the case I would go through the low carb stages until you reach ketosis... ie lower carb intake over time and ween yourself off of it. I love low carb (I am under 20g carbs a day) I can eat until I'm full whereas the healthy living plate pushed on us by nhs means I'm starving and still...

I I think what they are more worried about is later on when baby is putting down fat so they will be checking the AC and fluid level as that can rise due to gd. Babies sometimes will measure behind and then have a growth spurt and measure ahead, they only start to worry if they are behind and...

Husband went to work, so did it here instead...;)

Thanks for your reply, I have refused fragmin on these grounds, I asked for an alternative but there wasn't one and was advised to drink plenty of water and exercise! I was shocked because that should be the 1st thing they advise... they are still trying to get me to take fragmin! They tell me...

Wow, looks like you all have found the solution to climate, I was laughing as a lot of you say exactly the same as my husband... to much unnecessary stuff, too much waste, too much usage of electricity (hairdryers, curling tongs, straighteners and goodness know what else)... our car broke down...
