Hi all i was diagonsed 2 weeks ago and im back at the clinic on tuesday. I sooo wanted to be able to manage this with diet alone as im freaked out with needles (learning to hold my finger still and press the button took a few attempts lol) i can now prick my finger but dont want to go on insulin!
My before breckie rate is good (5.0-5.8 ) however if i eat it varies. For breakfast i have a slice of rye bread with 2 eggs and this was going well between 7-7.9, however today same food and 8.7 - how did that happen?
Lunch i ussually have grilled sausage egg tomatoes mushroom etc i get between 5.1 and 8.1. My dinnners though are not good 7.9 -11.2 i am good and eat meat loads of veg and small amount of carbs. Yesterday i made a 'lamb pie' with minced lamb, carrots onion topped with 2/3 mashed cauliflower and 1/3 potato. served with loads of other veg, followed by a low carb diet yogut. i made 2 portions, yesterday i got 9.2. Ate the same today and got 5.5 - ive never had that low after eating ??? Im so confused the meal was identical my readings were the same before i ate so why the big drop? How can i contol this if my body acts differntley with the same foods day to day?
Ive already got loads of other probs with this pregnancy and i just want it to be a little normall i feel like such a failure when i look at my numbers and im dreading going back on tuesday and them saying i need meds. Please if you have any advice....
thanks x
