prior of having been diagnosed as type 2 diabetis mellitus - my greatest fears are blood and needles - which i tried to overcome during my CS delivery for baby bear but to no avail. now i can say that i have totally overcome this fear as i need to undergo series of painful needle testing and insulin for the succeeding 3 trimesters of my pregnancy. i never imagined myself that i could do all these by myself - am fricking my fingers for glucose monitoring evey 3 hours and a daily dose of insulin to keep my blood sugar in normal level. nine months will not be long just to ensure the little creature inside me will grow healthy and safe - i'll just enjoy every moment of it.
i also had seen dietitian last night and provided me a copy of meal guidelines to help maintain healthy blood glucose levels while providing adequate nutrition for my baby. was advised to eat smaller and more frequent meals - 3 meals and 3 snacks and no concentrated sugar (good bye sweet tooth!)
anmum and glucerna SR are good substitute for my 'sweet cravings" as both has creamy taste - this will be my official drink until July. sigh...
