Hi everyone!
My name is JynxGirl, and I'm new to this site.
I've been diabetic for almost 9 years now, and was recently put on insulin for some really crazy blood sugars when I fell pregnant in March.
After a miscarriage at the end of April, my blood sugar still hasn't returned to normal, and now we're playing with long and short acting insulins to try to get my numbers back to normal.
Before all of this, my diabetes was controlled by diet alone, and even then, I was able to eat like half a cake by myself (not that I did... often...) without a spike over 10.0mmol/L
Now, I have major problems if I eat 6 crackers instead of 4 or forget to eat something for more than 4 hours.
So I guess, in short, I'm here to re-educate myself, and try to get over the sense of total betrayal I have against my body...
About me? Oh! I'm the mom of a special needs little girl and am about to be married to the most wonderful man on the planet. After our miscarriage, we were told that if we want babies, we should be trying immediately to get pregnant. Until my diabetes gets back to some semblance of control, that's on hold. We own a sign language tutoring business, and recently bought a house. So stress is a huge part of my life, but that's my normal.
I can't think of anything else, but feel free to ask me questions.
