Insulin resistant
Have you ever heard of that phrase? Those are two very bad words to me. Because of my body being insulin resistant (my body produces insulin but does not use it efficiently), I became diabetic back in 1999. YUCKO!! Worst thing that ever happened to me.
Now, of course with the pregnancy, I need my blood sugar under excellent control. Pills just weren't doing the trick, so my OB doctor has finally done the dreaded deed--I have been put on insulin. I thought OH NO.....but you know, its not so bad. Today was my first day and it is not bad at all. I used to give myself allergy shots and I have recently started giving my papa B12 shots so I am familiar with needles and needle safety--thank the good Lord above.
My blood sugar is still elevated so I am asking that you all pray with me and for me and this precious little baby that with insulin, my sugar levels will improve quickly.
Hopefully, I will just have to endure the insulin throughout my pregnancy; afterwards, I have a good possibility of going back to oral meds. They are much cheaper :)
Oh well, just so you know, I will do anything at all to stay healthy during my pregnancy and if that includes walking twice a day, I will do it. The problem right now is that I feel so TIRED all the time (they say 1st trimester is bad for this). So, I will ask that you pray I get through this first trimester with a little more energy than I've had in my recent past.
For example: Today, after I picked up Emy from school, we went to town to buy
her a surprise for doing so well on her progress report. When I got home from that short trip, I went straight to the couch and fell asleep (I'm talking FELL FAST ASLEEP). I slept for about 30-45 minutes. Afterward, I was grumpy....Luke mentioned a grumpy kangaroo whose balloon popped (a book I read to him about feelings). LOL!! I love my kids--they make all of this fun.
Just a cute side note--Emy and Luke have started kissing my belly and talking to the baby--so far, its the best part of my day. :o)
Y'all have a great weekend and sleep well.
Until next post,
Cindy
