As predicted, the diabetes team started me on overnight insulin yesterday. My daytime levels are fine and dont need any help, but because i'm fairly consistently over 5.0 for my fasting test I need the insulin shot of a night. Its not too bad, no where near as bad as I thought anyway! I cant even feel the needle going in, and there's not long left to go anyway.
The dietitician was annoying. She is one of those skinny people who thinks that if you're overweight you must be an idiot. She's sitting there lecturing me on carbs and nutrition and giving me the dirtiest looks when I tried to explain that I knew all of that and do actually eat well. She did shut up when the diabetes educator told her my diet is obviously fine!
Then I had to be weighed.... That really pissed her off too i'm sure when she realised i've actually lost more weight! So far i've gained 3kg for the whole pregnancy, but bub is growing nicely and i'm not getting sick or anything so obviously i'm doing something right. About time!
The midwife appointment was only to check that they hadnt missed anything up to this point. I asked about the special care question, and she said that as soon as I can move my legs off the side of the bed and get into a wheelchair i'll be able to go in and see her. And in the meantime drew or another family member can be with her.
I feel better knowing I wont have to wait a whole night to see her. Whether i'll be able to hold her or not is another thing, but as long as I can see her and touch her that will be enough. And I'm starting to get excited at that idea again now. She'll be here before we know it!
