yes, being a diabetic is wicked hard while pregnant. I have not had many craving this time, so far, luckily but when I was pregnant with Maya I was miserable. I am put on the Javanovich diet (WICKED STRICT!!) and it does not leave much room for soothing those pregnancy cravings. I have not been as hungry with this pregnancy and I get full too quickly so I am basically eating small, ALL THE TIME.

Insulin being a hormone is not good while pregnant because my hormones are out of whack! I have been having headaches that I think is all related to diabetes and the hormones. I have been dealing more with diabetic lows this time and not being able to eat much, i have been in quite the conundrum. When I was pregnant with Maya my sugars were so high so often. I think having an insulin pump from the beginning has helped my sugars stay lower, too low at times. I have been scared out of my mind often because I could die or really harm the baby if my sugars are not steady and that is almost effing impossible. Sometimes seems unfair. I hate having to control something that my body is supposed to control.

Having diabetes while pregnant sucks but pregnancy is not supposed to be easy, I guess.

This quote is taken from Dr. Javanovich's question and answer section of the online magazine Diabetic Mommy.

Quote :

"Pregnancy, type I diabetes, and insulin If you have type 1 diabetes, your insulin requirements go up and down throughout the pregnancy. Every pregnancy involving diabetes is unique, so you and your doctor will work closely together to adjust your insulin regimen in a way that meets your specific needs. When the egg first implants in your uterus, it secretes a hormone that tells the ovary to make more progesterone. This is the hormone that prepares the uterus to be full of extra tissue and blood to receive the egg, if it is fertilized. Progesterone counters the action of insulin. So when your progesterone levels rise, you may need to take more insulin. With type 1 diabetes, by the time your pregnancy test turns positive, your progesterone levels are two to three times higher than the levels in a non-pregnant woman. Your insulin requirement is generally 20% higher 5 to 6 weeks after your last menstrual period. Your insulin requirement continues to rise slowly until 9 to 11 weeks, when the ovaries stop making progesterone and the placenta takes over progesterone production. This switch may be associated with a temporary drop in progesterone levels. If you are thin and very insulin sensitive, when this drop in progesterone happens, your insulin requirement may drop suddenly. At this time, you have a higher risk of nighttime low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). If this happens while you sleep, you may not feel your blood glucose levels drop. Your doctor will probably tell you to carefully increase your insulin doses to maintain normal blood glucose levels throughout the early part of the pregnancy. Every night, you will need to test your blood glucose at around 3:00 am. When the 3:00 am test readings fall to less than 70 mg/dl, your doctor may reduce your bedtime insulin dose substantially. This insulin dose reduction may last for approximately 8 to 10 days. Then your insulin requirements will begin to rise again. From that point on, there is a smooth rise in insulin requirement during each trimester of your pregnancy. When you reach term and contractions begin, your insulin requirement will drop again. The contracting uterus is exercising and using up glucose for energy. Therefore, at 37 weeks' gestation, you will need to wake up in the middle of the night again to measure your blood glucose. If the 3:00 am readings are less than 70 mg/dl, your bedtime insulin dose will need to be reduced. After the baby is born, your insulin requirements may drop again. All of these insulin dose adjustments are essential to your developing baby's health. This means that you will need to check your blood glucose often and let your doctor know the results, so that your insulin doses can be quickly and safely adjusted. If you have type 1 diabetes and you are overweight when you become pregnant, your insulin sensitivity and insulin dose requirements may be different from those of a thinner pregnant woman. Your doctor will set up an insulin plan that is right for your specific needs. Your doctor will tell you how often to check your blood glucose. Typically, you will check 8 to 10 times a day: before each meal, one hour after each meal, at bedtime and at 3:00 am. Keep good records of your blood glucose readings... these will help the doctor to fine-tune your insulin doses throughout the pregnancy. The health of your baby depends on these frequent dose adjustments."

I find it awfully telling that you got pregnant within a scant 3 weeks of meeting me for the first time.

Now I'm not saying that I have any effect on female fertility, though we shouldn't rule it out.

10/15/2010 1:38:41 PM
