When I was in labor, my blood sugar was low, and I had to *make* myself eat something because it was going to take 45 minutes to an hour to get "approval" to get something in my IV...which, THAT made me pretty mad, since they would've MOVED on it ...
Hi Jana!
I'm so glad you asked, as I often wonder if I'm the only one...That is to say, I didn't have a homebirth or even a midwife but strove for a "natural hospital birth," oxymoron that that is. I've found that the medical community treats eve...

Hi Alessandra!
Just wanted to say I'm another success story. I had a surprise pregnancy but luckily I was already in pretty good control--and like the others, my control got even tighter when I was pregnant....Thus there were lots of lows since I ...
I don't believe it's carbs that matter in milk-making: it's calories. And it's actually a very low number of calories that you need. So basically, I really don't think you have to worry. Your body puts milk-making for your baby as one of its very ...

- Thanks Susan, I'll keep you informed. Funny thing is that my insurance paid for the pump but turned down the request for a continuous glucose meter as they say it is still experimental. It carrys FDA approval,so why is that?

- Hey Susan, Kim Johnson here just thought I would say that I appreciate the support and I think that as another Type 1 diabetic that we all need someone to talk to who has the same disease and can understand what we are going through. I would really like to continue to talk so if you can email me... Model4u_22@yahoo.com

Doris Ann Dickerson said… - I tink thes is one place to where we cam all be accepted no matter what trouble we have and I've found that the ppl here are very understanding in that field. Way back when I took it you didn't tell anybody about your health and now this place and orther's like it are great for doing that! One more thing about this site so far as I know nobody will put you down for not being in the best control or having other problems that will cause you to go high at times. I have been a member on other sites (which shall remain nameless) to where they did! Noone on this site hasn't done that to me yet!
