So I'm excited to be getting an Animas Ping pretty soon, but the company providing the insulin pump is requiring 21 days of my blood glucose readings. Since I rarely check mine, should I make them…Continue

An Update
I haven't logged on since my frantic posts early on in my pregnancy- I got pregnant on accident with a terrible A1C and I was terrified that something was going to be wrong with my baby. Well, my sweet Waverly was born January 9th via c-section and with the exception of her sugar being a little low at birth she was perfect. She was 8 lbs. and only delivered by c-section at 39 weeks because I was induced and her heart rate was dropping after contractions. So, everyone, do not be discouraged or…See More
Eric replied to sarasugar's discussion 'Diabetes and Depression'"When your Glucose control is not tight it WILL aggrivate your moods! I've experienced this firsthand myself and I've been type 1 for 32 years. Trust me on this. Eric"
Eric replied to sarasugar's discussion 'Diabetes and Depression'"So sorry to hear this.....this is why I believe we should have a universal healthcare system in this country. Until the profit motive is removed from healthcare, people are always going to suffer for it. Sheesh! Eric"
Eric replied to sarasugar's discussion 'Diabetes and Depression'"Take it from me Sara, complications do NOT happen no matter what you do....they happen when you don't rise to the challenge and fight it. The best way to live a full and happy life is to meet it head on. Please trust me on this...I used to feel…"
Karen replied to sarasugar's discussion 'Diabetes and Depression'"the tubing of the pump is not big deal"
Eric replied to sarasugar's discussion 'Diabetes and Depression'"Glad to see I'm not the only one , also. Never wanted to let this disease get the best of me mentally and I've always been pretty tough about it (32 years now), but lately I've found myself crying, ALOT. I can no longer drive, so…"
Saffy replied to sarasugar's discussion 'An Update!' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Congratulations! Listen to the doc because it sounds like s/he's telling you that you're doing a great job :) and yes... the scans are cool!"
"I had highs here and there too, they won't hurt you or the baby one bit. How exciting it is to find out what you are having and that she is normal and healthy. Praying the rest of your pregnancy goes well and you and baby are happy and healthy.…"
sarasugar added a discussion to the group Oh! BABY!!!An Update!
I posted in April about finding out I was four weeks pregnant, and now I am 19 weeks pregnant. I wish I could say that everything has been going smoothly, but it hasn't. I see my perinatologist every two weeks with regular phone calls to their nurse twice a week to report my sugars and my high risk OB once a month. I had to have laproscopic surgery two weeks ago due to ovarian torsian caused by a cyst, and they removed the cyst and my ovary. My sugars haven't been too bad, I have a few highs…See More
sarasugar replied to Ashley's discussion 'Advice needed from moms....' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I conceived on accident and I just got put on a meal plan today. I'm sure it's going to be tough, only 30 grams of carbs for breakfast :'["
