Insulin

Diet wasn't working to keep my fasting number down (my glucose reading first thing in the morning before eating), so I've had to move on to insulin injections at night. I started at 5 units, then went up to 10, then 12, which seemed to work for a bit, but now I'm up to 14 for the last two days, and I've had one good and one bad day. The worst part of it all is that I can't have any carbs at breakfast. Do you know how hard it is to avoid carbs at breakfast? I'm getting really tired of eggs. I also drink Atkins diet shakes in the morning, but they're really not all that good.

8 more weeks... 8 more weeks

Hang in there! I can hardly believe how quickly your pregnancy has gone by. I hope you've found ways to enjoy it, and that it hasn't been dragging too long for you. I'd be honored to take your spot in the prego line, and even spend a few weeks in line with you since if this cycle works, we'll overlap a bit. Eight weeks! That's fantastic!
