Well I went to see my Endo on Nov. 19th. My A1c is still at 5.1, so we are doing good there. He was concerned with me having too many lows after fasting. He said he can handle the between 65-70, but he did not like the 50-47 ones, so he lowered my overnight doses and it does not seem to be doing much. They are mostly in the low 60's (65-60). Although this morning it was at 140, not sure if it was due to what I ate before bed, but I was at 146 1 hour after I ate a snack, so it should have been fine and I did do a correction bolus for it.

I will have to keep an eye on it.

Today I go to my high risk OB for an Echo ultrasound and see how Sofia's heart is doing. She is pretty active and man does she really love my bladder. I guess she thinks it's her own personal pillows to burel into and trampolin. All I can say is it's NOT fun for me at all.

I am 3 weeks away from hitting my 28th week of pregnacy. I know a lot of women who notice their blood sugar becoming more uncontrollable at this time, due to the placenta producing a hormone which makes our body more insulin resisant. I also know that this is around the time when the placenta could start to break down and fail.

Just when you think there is a moment of relief and you can relax, becasue you have made it through the stressful part of the risk for miscarriage and the development of the baby, now you have to worry about whether or not your placenta will be be healthy enough to make it though to the end or if it will start to die and fall apart before your close to your due date. My Age does not help much in the factor either. Even though I still feel like I am in my late 20's, I am not and my body knows it.

So onward and upward to new hights and new adventures in the world of Life with diabetes.
