Good morning/afternoon.
Cats are for feeding hungry asians and old ladies that smell weird. Get rid of it.
I haven't had anything to eat yet. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes (diabetic when pregnant) a few days ago. Which is a complete shock because I have not gained a pound over what is normal (15 so far) and I have no history in my family. I just failed the hour glucose test- so badly in fact that they skipped additional testing and sent me straight to the specialist.
Long story short, I have to prick my finger 4 times a day to test my levels and I know it sounds easy- but I am terrified
every single time. I would rather have it taken from a vein. It has this horrible toaster like spring-click sound. So I sit and procrastinate and pull my finger away for at least 15 minutes before I finally muster up and do it.
It feels so.....
I don't know how diabetics do it, I guess they get used to it but it all sucks- the diet and needles are not fun. I have a great appreciation for the their strength, more so than before.
So I just finished my wake up test and will eat in a little bit and do another an hour later.
Maybe RYD can hook me up with my supplies.
Other than wallowing in my fear and new diet, I don't have anything planned.
