Hi Guys,
I had a miscarriage a couple of years ago and have not fallen pregnant since. I have polycystic ovaries, but my doctor said a recent scan shows no follicles/cysts on my ovaries. They have carried out various tests, but still no positive pregnancy tests!
I have issues with my stomach bloating and gluten and dairy free seems to prevent it, but I am living off next to nothing when I avoid both things. I am vegan and do not eat eggs or fish.
Today, my doctor told me he thinks its my blood sugars. Now, I am really stuck because I don't find my diabetes nurse or dietician helpful. I am hoping someone can give me some advice on my diet and blood sugars...
My most recent hbac1 was 55 which is the lowest it has ever been.
I am on lantus 10 units am and pm and apidra 1 unit per 10 grams of carbs or sometimes 1 and a half. I also take two metformin tablets in the evening. On a typical day, this is what I eat:
8am Banana 2units
11am Salt and vinegar hula hoops no insulin
1pm a handful of walnuts
7pm homemade chips with beans or toast with branston pickle and lactose free cheese or veg curry
3 to 4 pints of water during the day
I am staying away from takeaways and restaurants as they shoot my blood sugars up to 18!!!
Cup of green tea
10pm sometimes a snack - gluten free crispbread with peanut butter.
Am I doing anything wrong?
