[QUOTE="Lilybean, post: 77401, member: 19628"] hi octoberbabe, what a worrying time and it sounds like you have enough on your plate already. well done you for controlling it. you sound like you are doing quite well. it's such a shock as well as unpleasant when you don't feel very well and then there is the concern over your unborn baby. diabetes is a nasty disease and really i've found the diabetes awareness of people generally to be shockingly low, myself included. i am sure your 20 week scan will go well and your baby will be fine but please do post and let me (us all) know. keep doing what you are doing and you will be fine. i had a bad week last week with very little control over my blood sugar levels. they were high after breakfast leaving me feeling unpleasant and the whole day's bs levels were disrupted because of it. i had changed my breakfast cereal from branflakes to mini wheats. i changed because the branflakes made my pee smell horrid and as i have a prolapsed pelvic floor i had a tendancy to smell horrid! funny but not if you know what i mean.... anyway, i've gone back on to the branflakes, stinky or not, and my bs control has been much better this week, so i'm sticking with it. so food has a definite impact on how the control goes and i'd be very interested to know what you eat as a low carb. i am a big eater and always have been although i am not overweight, under if anything, and i find that the only way to fill me up is with carbs but i've learned that too much carb is not good of us either as we need more insulin and i also discovered that insulin is also known as a fat hormone. without insulin our bodies cannot make fat so the more insulin you put in the fatter you will be. it's getting the balance right and i'm not sure if i'm overdoing the carbs or not. i know everyone is different. your last sentence summed up exactly how i feel when i talk to friends and family about what's going on and it makes me uncomfortable and that i shouldn't feel the way i do but here, i feel normal and it's lovely really to know that i am not alone. i am feeling more positive this week and rather than thinking of all the horrible complications of diabetes i am determined to find a way to live with it which allows flexibility and control. it's my body and i want to look after it. i do eat much healthier than i did pre diagnosis so that can only be a good thing! hope to hear from you soon with some carb tips. keep well and look forward to hearing about your 20 week scan. xxx [/QUOTE]
