A new understanding...
I have a new understanding and appreciation for diabetics. I used to not really understand why it was so hard for diabetics to keep their blood sugars under control. Since I've been monitoring mine though, it is much harder that I ever thought. My blood sugars have been running high the last couple of days and I just feel like such a horrible mom because I am eating everything I should be and they're still high. I just feel awful because I know this isn't good for my little Grace and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. It's just very frustrating and this time of the year is not helping one bit with all the treats hanging around every where you turn.

I'm sure you are doing very well with watching your diet. You're one of the most disciplined people I know. Usually the concern is for the mother's body having the stress of elevated blood sugars & pregnancy. David had an elevated blood sugar when he he was born so the nurses just gave him water right after his birth & he was fine. I had tested normal glucose after the post glucola test so I wasn't on any special diet. Back in those days I drank Coke Classic besides & David as you know turned out just fine & healthy as could be. Please don't be so hard on yourself. You've made changes in your diet & you were only on the high side of normal. You're a great Mom & soon you'll have Grace in your arms to prove she's as healthy as Madi is!! I pray for that day & night as I did for Madi.
