Diabetes and pregnancy

Pachu, it is also difficult for me to understand children's diabetes that have told you ... hormonal causes and that's it?You cannot constantly be in a hyper and also if you get pregnant to control glycemia should be very good because if not in pregnancy it is "not knowing where the air gives you."
And about weight ... It is clear that insulin fattens but as long as we take more hydrates from the Q burns, accumulate and thus we get fat.When I have had the most weight when I have been worse.
But well Pachu ... you have time to control yourself better, patiently ...

Luroka, if Kieres sends a private with your name on Facebook and so we add you.

Nor do I understand children's diabetes, they say that it is a hormonal issue, that it may have been destabilized by abortion;Yesterday at the end I got to 73 and spend the whole afternoon well until after dinner that came up again to 200 !!I keep raising the bowling to see if we give the dose ...
About the endo is the best in Zamora thanks to her, it came from a 12 of hemo to a 5.5 although it went up to 8 but it is the only one that has been before and understood that the other one that I had part of not letting me thatI would change my specialist, I told me to eat what I ate always put me 6 units, so that bass was 20 and I had to look for the ambulance to work, so I say that this woman is the best there is!But let's see if I am able to attend to me on the 19th day I have lowered the glycemia ...

Hello to all.I struggle in your post because Nana recommended me to read it and the truth is that I have learned a lot, although your situation is not comparable to mine, now I tell you.The first thing is to congratulate Tica for her baby and Paula's mother for her baby.I have read you from the beginning and I have followed your pregnancies with a lot of emotion.To pregnant moms, congratulations for your pregnancies and that you have some healthy and precious baby.And to the moms they are looking for, good luck in the search!I have already seen that some have lost your babies at the beginning of pregnancy, I am very sorry, I know how much it hurts even very at the beginning because I have also lost two babies in the first quarter.If someone needs support, in the forums of Superando AutoTo we will be happy to receive you, it has helped me a lot.
Well, I introduce myself, I'm tedesca and I'm 21 weeks pregnant (the baby who is on the way is a girl).It is my fourth pregnancy, apart from the two babies that I lost I have a beautiful four -year -old girl.I told you that your situation is not comparable to mine because I have diagnosed me "gestational diabetes", but I have not found a forum specifically dedicated to this issue, I do not know if I open a post or if I may alreadyThere are, in this forum or another site (I have not found it).I already had gestational diabetes in my daughter's pregnancy, they detected it in week 25 and I managed to cope with her half well;Taking into account that I had no experience with diabetes I learned a lot in those fifteen weeks, to forced marches, what a remedy.In the end it was all good because I followed the diet they gave me and between the diet and the walks I could have the more or less controlled values, although at the end of pregnancy the values ​​became quite crazy, I was in a hair fromHaving to start with insulin, but it didn't need.There was no macrosomia, my daughter had no hypoglycemia, and at six weeks they repeated the sugar curve and I no longer had diabetes.
This time they have made the curve in week 20 and the values ​​are already altered (minimally), so they have already put me in the hands of a diabetes specialized team.My first pregnancy took me in Germany (Haribita, I feel very identified with many of the things that you count) because I lived there then and now I am in Luxembourg, which is where they are taking me.
I follow a diet with restriction of slow absorption hydrates (the rapid absorption have disappeared from my diet), but I have no restrictions for others, because for now I have only fattened 1,200 grams since I started pregnancy (it is very little, but withMy daughter happened to me the same and she was born perfect;On the fast, the limit that they have marked is 95 (in Germany there were 90) and at two hours 120 (in Germany the limit were 140 per hour).For now there are all the values ​​under control but I know that the thing is complicated as the weeks progress.
I have helped me a lot because I love to see with what encouragement you face your pregnancies.I complained about the "gestational diabetes" but I see that it is almost a game of children compared to the values ​​to which you face you and the hormonal dislocation you have to face.I really admire you, and I do not think to complain about having gestational diabetes, the diet and having to measure the sugar six times a day.
I will continue reading you and maybe I am encouraged to ask you from time to time a question.
Good luck to all, a little kiss to Diego and another to Paula, and take care of them.

Hello tedesca !!
Congratulations on pregnancy and because everything is going well!As for gestational diabetes compared to type 1 DM will surely be easier to control but I think the important thing is to know what each one has happened.And that is why you should not take away merit for getting it well, each one has had to live a thing and for each one it is the worst, the best or most difficult in the world, the important thing is to face it with optimism, because if noooo ....
I don't know ... in my case after time planning pregnancy I see something normal, and that women with "normal" pregnancies tell you ... "Joe ... Well, what a roll to have to be so aware of everything."Yes, it is a concern, and much, having high glycemia for no reason, ends up wishing you, but well ... as long as they don't last long in time ...
I still have been in diabetes for so much years that I am already used to it and I do not imagine a different life.
And what you said of the third quarter as to which it is the most difficult because yes, insulin needs increase greatly and you have to be very very aware, but because of our children you have to do it yes or yes.

Thanks for the welcome, alg.You are right that the motivation to try to do everything is huge in pregnancy, I have often doubted whether it would have been able to follow this strict diet without "sin" from time to time, but when I think of meBaby I have it clear: I'm going to do my best and I don't think about diet and if you have to go out after each meal, I leave (now not because there is ice everywhere and the last thing we need the whole family is thatI break a leg, but I miss the walks).What encourages me a lot in this pregnancy is to see that, with my first daughter, the sacrifice was worth it because everything went well :-)
I have felt very identified with you because one of the things that I had worse in my first pregnancy was the frustration of seeing that, although it did everything right, the values ​​did not go well and I did not know why.Uffff, what lots of crying hit me, how frustrating ... the hardest thing of gestational diabetes is that you suddenly find the diagnosis (in my case it was an absolute surprise in the first pregnancy, in this one already obviously not) andYou have to learn a lot of things in a few weeks, the pressure is huge because you have very little time to learn (unfortunately many times by the attempt-error method) and you are thinking about if you will not be hurting your baby because you have143 An hour after eating instead of 138. In that sense, living with the disease for a long time is in your case, without a doubt, an advantage.The hormonal disruptions that mismatch us sugar is something we have to live with.I know that now I have the values ​​very well because I am in week 21, but right now the disruption will begin and I fear him for the frustration and impotence that causes me.I have also felt identified with you when you say that the routine is of great help (in my case it is);In the first pregnancy my husband did not understand that going to dinner with friends, taking advantage that we still didn't have the girl, stressed me a lot because I got out of control of the values ​​(at home I know well what I cook and weight everything, but out of home... Ufff, in a short time it is difficult to take the pace to know what you can eat from the letter and what not and how much are the amount of potatoes that allow me to eat).In two weeks we are going to my in -laws' house and I'm fearing because it seems to me that I will have to be loaded with my own food, that house is chaos in terms of nutrition ...
In this pregnancy I have observed since the pasta (100%integral) rises too much sugar.They let me eat 60 grams (dry weight) but the values ​​after eating integral paste do not work out (in the first pregnancy, provided they were 60 grams, they did not give me problems).Integral rice (60 grams dry) for now without problems, cooked potatoes very well, and bread (whenever it is 100% integral without malt sugar) very well (in the amounts I can eat, of course).
Can I ask you some questions?:
1) What value is considered "hypoglycemia" and how do you notice that one is in that situation?
2) The fact that you are very thirsty at night, can it have something to do with diabetes?
3) Do you know what sweeteners are allowed in pregnancy?I am taking Stevia, but they have told me to do it with a lot of moderation and that I forget about saccharin (in my first daughter's pregnancy I took saccharina, nobody told me that I shouldn't!).
4) What is the "effect of dawn"?I think it affected me in my first pregnancy, if I had breakfast after seven in the morning the values ​​always went wrong, although I have breakfast the same as always, and after reading that term here I think I could have something to do with that.
Thanks to all!

Hello tedesca40,
1) Below 70 you are giving you a hypo.Each person is a world and notes different.I usually notice it quite late and start nervously, sweat, anger and a lot of hunger.You have to be careful with this for the rebound effect.Little by little it is learning that with a little juice and dextroxa it is enough to return to normal levels and a little bread or cookies to stabilize.
2) Yes, it can be one of the alarms that the body produces so that you notice that there is something that does not work.
3) I can't help you here because I don't like the taste of any sweetener.Besides, I drink a lot and I don't need sugar.When I drink some coffee, if I made a little sugar but so little that I don't count it.
4) The Alba effect is what makes it fail to have good values ​​during the morning.My insulin needs explode at breakfast, the values ​​go up and go up to lower the hour and a half two hours after the injection.My educator told me that the easiest way to understand this effect was that the body used everything at its disposal to wake up and that hormone, especially during pregnancy they also played their role.As you do not inject insulin it is best to distribute breakfast in two shots and in the second take the dairy and/or fruits.Better together.
Good luck and patience.Greetings

Thank you very much, Haribita, for responding so fast.
I think that for now (since I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and I started to measure regularly) I have not had any hypoglycemia (at least, I have never been below 70), but that feeling of great hunger (and a lot of thirst) theI have every night.I measure me before breakfast and I have them well, around 85. I take a glass of milk before going to bed, but I think I'm going to see what happens eating some whole wheat bread (they allow me two slices of "Knäckebrot "integral in the right), to see if it does not give me so much hunger during the night and if the values ​​continue well.
Distribute breakfast I already do, the fruit takes it with a dairy in the middle of the morning, in the first breakfast I take 60 grams of 100% integral rye bread (without malt or any type of added sugar) with fresh cheese, a coffee, some nuts, some turkey breast ... At two hours I have a few values ​​enter 90 and 100 and a hunger that you do not see, but in the pregnancy of my first daughter, when I measured an hour (more advanced pregnancy, I mean) I had difficulties not to go from 140. I don't know, I'm still taking the rhythm to this, but I worry that I spend hungry mornings (it always happens to me, also out of pregnancy).The German diabetologist allowed me in the other pregnancy to have breakfast three times, every two hours, it was the only way to cope with the morning while I had to work.From lunch I am not so hungry and sometimes I even have to force me to snack.Tomorrow I have to go fasting to make a blood analysis and I'm fearing for him because I don't think I can endure so much time without breakfast, I get up with a hunger that could eat anything.
The point is that no one has ever explained the "alba effect" or the hypoglycemia, but with everything I have read in this forum I have been able to ask a list of questions for the next appointment at the Diabetes Clinic, soI thank you very much that you share so much information.
Many greetings to all!

Congratulations Tica !!!!!
I'm glad that everything has gone well and you have Diego with you.

In principle, type I diabetes affects thin people or in balanced weight, we are always understood.Regardless of that of course, in the debut we all lose weight because our body has no insulin to metabolize hydrates.And insulin does not fat, fattening what you eat.The more you eat, the more insulin and more fattening.The overweight is more related to type II diabetes due to poor food, sedentary lifestyle ...
What I do not understand is about children's diabetes ... I understood that type I diabetes is the ‘youth diabetes’ although baby debuts and then there is type II.I am wrong ...
Welcome tedesca!Ask what you need, that we will help you in what we can.As Haribita has already answered you, I do not answer these first questions.I think that experience helps us in pregnancy unlike gestational diabetes.But think you ‘cure’ when you give birth.Many would sign hahaha
I still have anemia.Does any happen to any?I am in week 27 and I have had anemia almost from the beginning of pregnancy, but now I have been taking iron for months and nothing, I still have.Not alarming values ​​but I don't recover at all.And he has worried if he can affect the baby's development.

It has been sent twice unintentionally ...

Welcome tedesca !!
What happens to me that never explained anything about diabetes and many of the things I learned here.
I seem to begin to lower the glycemia, but not quite, I do adjustments to see if I get something

Thank you very much for the reception.It is true, sugared, that gestational diabetes is usually removed once pregnancy is over, that encourages me.With my first daughter at least it happened like this, although I have already seen in these forums that there is some mom that stayed with her forever, I hope I don't touch me.Anyway, I know that I have a greater risk of developing type II diabetes in the future, but I am still in time to try to avoid it.What I learn with gestational diabetes also serves me a lot in that sense.
With my first daughter I had anemia at the beginning of the third quarter, I could not pull my soul, but it was corrected with the iron supplement they gave me.What has the doctor told you that you are not correcting, it is possible to increase the iron dose (although it is so astringent ...)?I think I remember that iron supplements have more effect if they are taken with something that has vitamin C and less if they are taken with dairy products, I don't know if in your case that can help.
Today I have spoken with the dietitian because in all pregnancy (I am in week 21) I had fattened only 1100 grams.Well, in the week that I have diet I have lost 600 of them.When I saw this morning the scale was done dust, thinking about my baby (although I know that she will consume me before she started hungry, that reassures me something).He has told me to increase the hydrates that I take in the first breakfast (to take a slice of bread, come) and take a slice of bread in addition to the glass of milk before going to bed.And that all the nuts, almonds and hazelnuts and all the cured cheese that you want (during the day or during the night, if I enter one of those night attacks of hunger that enter me enter).We will see how to increase hydrates at breakfast influences values ​​(breakfast is what gave me the most war in the first pregnancy), both now and as pregnancy evolves.
Another question (if anyone knows anything about which sweeteners can be taken in moderation during pregnancy, I appreciate the information): Is the fact that you have nighttime attacks of hunger does not necessarily have to assume that you are in a situation of hypoglycemia or yes?(It may be a good idea to measure the sugar one day at that time, although it is possible to have hypoglycemia at half past three in the morning, not eat anything and that the values ​​before breakfast are perfect, around 85? Keep in mindthat I do not inject insulin).I have measured the ketones several mornings since I started and I am not producing them, I do not know if it serves as guidance.
Ah, and a practical question: in Germany and when I went on vacation to Spain, it threw the lancets used, well taps, at normal trash because nobody ever told me anything else.In Luxembourg, however, they have told me that this is prohibited and have given me in the pharmacy a special container for the used lancets that I can then deliver again in the pharmacy.In Spain (and in Germany, Haribita) must also get rid of them in a special container?If so, do they give it to the pharmacy?(not to have to walk mine throughout Europe).
Ufff, how loss I am.But my list of questions for the diabetes clinic is increasingly long.I would like to understand the logic of many things related to diabetes, I think that would help me.In that sense, I am finding a lot of information in these forums, although there are no specific gestational diabetes posts.Thank you!
Take care!

Hello girls,

At the moment I continue with my right eye, now through La Mancha I see something but very little and distorted .. I hope that is improvement.

Let's see try to answer you ... Algulista do not get wet in anything in delivery reasons, they say that if "asymptomatic" has come out, it can come out or get worse by natural delivery or Caesarea, if they see risk of retinal detachmentIt would be another song .. but as for this they give me to elejir to me that I want.They are ready and do not want to recommend something that then harms them if it goes wrong.On February 15, I have an oculista again and the bump on Monday 18. After seeing myself because the bump will have to evaluate what corresponds to it, if the little one goes very large or that the myomas prevent me from coming out vaginal or that diabetesIn the last moment there are many factors so, to wait for me.Now I am in 32 weeks with a weight of 11.5 kilos but I would throw more for 12. The Tocolo commented on the last time that when I see me in week 34 I would see if it advances monitors at 36, and I think it is because it is becauseI will want to cause delivery between 37 and 40 if she does not come out before :) in terms of sugar because there is being chasing to improve values ​​and not exceed certain levels so that the little one does not fatten much.You tell me as you are going and how do the doctors cause you or leave you to term.

Sugged the car we have copied is the baby IP - Op evolution we liked and well on Friday we are going to pick it up.

To the rest thanks to all for your cheerfuls, for the moment calm down and preparing the baby bag that every day I put a new thing hahaha I already have all washing and ironing I have diaper samples to try and everything mine, but surely something isI forget :) And if I am dead for scary for childbirth, tomorrow I have a visit with the midwife the last and well there I will vent a little.

As for the new welcome to the new forum :) And I tell you a little thing my father is type II diabetic and my two grandmothers were too, and yours is gestational is worse than these and you know why?Very easy in pregnancy everything we know about diabetes and everything we do is practically unpredictable when the insu is going to resist for that we have the shattered fingers that we use bolis :) And I will support you everything you need, the important thing is notObsesting and becoming sad because that affects the baby if not to say "okay" but I'm going to run it :) Because the most important thing is not to have it a long time.

A kiss to all, Pachu, Harabita, Anabeg, do not get angry if I am missing people that the kiss is for all

Tica tells something when you can breastfeeding that you carry it?

Tedesca40, in Germany they do not give you any special container for the lancetas but should not be thrown away.I use strips boats.If it is not enough you use a plastic bottle and when you have it full, in one of the doctors you leave it and that's it.

Melina, if you forget something in the bag they will bring it to you, do not overwhelm that babies do not need many things but much time.In addition, in hospitals they have everything.Here they do not let you use your baby's clothes so that it is not lost and there are no claims.The truth is that it is very practical.It is not that the photos do not come out like those of the hello but one less problem that you have during the days of stay in the hospital.

hello!!!

When I was living in Germany I threw everything from diabetes to "restmüll" I didn't know that you couldn't ..., the truth is that where nobody lived, we were all rental and it was very cheap ...

The simplest breastfeeding of what I expected ... I will tell you that the little one is protesting a little, it must be hungry, but you are not afraid, at least in my case easier to control than the pregnancy the last months...

Tedesca, I think that hunger attacks do not necessarily indicate that you are in hiccups but yes, I would do some control at that time to be sure.
About iron they will tell me something on Friday that I have a visit with the endocrine.

Hello little women!
Melina: Quiet that everything will go well with your delivery, try to be as positive as possible and without fears, with much faith towards God, surely they are doing very well. It is different from other countries for what I see and depending on theClinic are the things that allow youThey allow some and others not, just like the bottle since in some clinics the babies do not take care of you and in others they take care of them all the time. In the end ... there are many differences from country to country.
Tica: Good thing about the tit!Hehe here we say like this sometimes, enjoy it.
Welcome tedesca!
Well my girls I want to tell you that I am quite uncontrolled :( I don't know what is going with my sugar if I had come well, tomorrow I go to my diabetologist. Today I started with the ovulation tests to see how it is doing.

Hello to all.Thanks to all for your answers!
Melina, how little you have left!Hopefully everything goes well with your eyes, what really ready the oculist ... You are right that it makes no sense to be overwhelmed if the values ​​do me badly having done everything I had to do.Sometimes I find it extremely frustrating (well, for now I have no problems yet because I am in week 22), but I will try to apply that philosophy.I am very encouraged to see you and realize that this insulin and hormones in pregnancy is simply so, do one whatever it is difficult to have it under control.What I hope is not to have to start with insulin, I see you with so many experience and I imagine what you have to try to learn all that in just a few weeks.But, well, if I had to start insulin later, then I know who to ask!:-)
Haribita, I did not know that the lancets in Germany could not be thrown into "normal garbage"!Thanks for becoming.Nobody told me five years ago, and I didn't even go through the imagination ... but I will take it into account now when I go to Germany several days, I will keep the lancets used in a bag and then I will get rid of them in my container.
Sugared, since I have started drinking not only the glass of milk but also some bread in the right time the night better and I am not awake hungry, but if it happens again, yes, I will measure the sugar in full attack of hunger, Let's see what I find.
Luroka, that you do very well with the ovulation tests!I did not get a positive out in an ovulation test (I think it depends on the level of sensitivity of the test and mine must be very few sensitive) but I have already become pregnant four times, so you also do not overwhelmThe results.
Tica, how is it going so well with breastfeeding!In my case it was very, very badly, I had no milk, and I was trying for six weeks with a breastfeeding advisor everything imaginable, but nothing, there was no way (above in Germany they have the thesis that there are no women without milk, butthat everything is due to a bad technique, which I thought it was my fault, that I was doing something wrong ...).I had a bad time ... I think I started enjoying motherhood when I stopped torturing myself with breastfeeding, six weeks after my daughter was born, and I feed her exclusively with a bottle.I tell you because breastfeeding is something wonderful, but if someone does not work, as it happened to me, not to go crazy either as I turned, small lots of crying hit me ... this time I don't know whatI will, if I will try or not (I have my particular trauma with this topic), but in any case I get obsessed (experience is a degree :-))
Pachu, Inmape, Alg, and all others, how are you going?
Take care of all!

Hello girls, Parce that everything starts to return to normal, I only have to adjust a couple of things and voila, but I don't know what this lack of control that I have had!
They have sent me for Monday that I have a 24 -hour urine analytics and I have a little musquea because for a couple of weeks there have been some small punctures in the kidneys and I do not know if it will be cold, bad posture or go to know ifI will have something, I already start to mosque myself, for the rest everything has been my ulima ovulaion before they give me green light, but I will have to wait for the analytics to see what results it gives.

Hello girls!

Tedesca, sometimes type 2 diabetes can be developed, in the future, after having suffered gestational diabetes in pregnancies ... but we are not going to worry until it happens, so for the moment to take care of the food.

Luroka, good luck with the ovulation tests, I used them in the first attempt and won.And see if you manage to control the glycemia, tell us.

Tica, how good that you do well with breastfeeding!It must be very beautiful, I can say the same thing within not much!

Melina, you'll see how February 15 the oculista of good news!And well ... The later they schedule the childbirth, if they do, the better.

With the glycemia I am going well, after the Lantus has uploaded little by little, I already put 32 units and 14-13-15 quickly, a barbarity compared to the first quarter that put me 5-6-4 quickly.But well, lately I had some 160 at most in some postpondrial, so I don't complain.And this Saturday I will turn 34 weeks and I am more and more nervous with childbirth, the postpartum, ... with everything !!!
I am looking like you, Melina, I'm almost 12kg, especially I notice the Supertripa, I am weird, hahaha!
And on the other hand I already notice those false contractions, those of Braxton Hicks.The first times as I did not know what I was fatal but now as soon as I notice the first symptom I try to relax and if I can sit.

On Monday I have an echo and gine, and I think the little one is still in the same posture, sitting, Joee ... to see if it is positioned at once.On the previous visit to the gyne, they told me that they made a maneuver to turn it around in case it came from buttocks, about week 37-38, I will wait for Monday to see what they tell me.
