Mummy has been asked to visit Dr. Selina yesterday evening ahead of the scheduled appointment on Saturday due to the OGTT result.
Mummy has gestational diabetes. Dr. Selina going through the implications with daddy and mummy if the sugar level is not controlled. Dr. Selina has advised mummy to go on strict diet (low fat, low suger but high protein and fiber) and do the prick test (home glucose test) 3 times a day as the reading is not that bad. Mummy has been advised to have more small meals instead of big full meals.
Today mummy has started doing the test in office and start to control the food that she take, she is doing fine but gets hungry very fast and stressed up trying very hard to remember to do the prick test 2 hours after meals cause sometimes the timing can't be so accurate especially there are meetings and discussions going on and of course finding food that mummy can take and stays not hungry.
Today readings is as followed:
Breakfast (2 piece for softmeal bread, with 2 tablespoon of pork floss and a glass of milk) , the reading 11.8 which is high as Dr. Selina mention try to maintain around 6.6. Most probably is due to the timing of the test cause mummy was asked to attend a discussion by boss at 9.30am and she can only have her breakfast at 10.30am. Mummy did the test at 11.40am(around 1 hour after meal) before going off for lunch at 11.50am to avoid the lunch crowd which is terrible especially mummy now can only eat certain food which the queue to get food can be as long as 20mins if the crowds join in.
Lunch reading taken at 3pm which is around 2 hours after lunch, is 4.7. It is a great number mainly because mummy has taken young tau fu without any noddle, just the ingredient and veggie and a glass of apple celery juice. The reading make a big difference but by 3pm mummy is so hungry. After the test, mummy quicky eat the fruits (1 slice of rockmelon and 1 slice of chinese pear) as tea break.
At night, the reading is 8.1 after having economic food (1 veggie, 2 meats with rice) bought by daddy the reading is above 6.6.
Mummy have recorded all the readings, hopefully after review by the Dr. Selina, it is ok. Mummy do not wish to have GD, she has no choice as it cause by hormone, she is trying hard to follow what doctor advise, at the same time coping with the stress from work, from worrying to much on my health , the fatigue, tiredness as I am getting bigger(1.4kg) and trying control her emotion the hormone is causing her to depress and down easily.
