Gestational diabetes mellitus --- huwaaat?





Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes that arises during pregnancy (usually during the second or third trimester).In some women, GDM occurs because the body cannot produce enough insulin to meet the extra needs of pregnancy.




Often, blood glucose levels can be controlled by diet. You will be given a diet to follow that is low in simple carbohydrates. If your blood glucose cannot be controlled by diet, you will have to take insulin injections. Between ten and 30 per cent of women with GDM take insulin.

Thank you google for the info above.

It was detected in my blood test two weeks ago, my sugar count was way over the limit. Thus it was easy for my doctor to say, Im diabetic.

Now I can’t even smile with just the thought of it. I’m scared. Nope, not like the stretch mark scary, this one is for real. Its serious. If I can’t find a way to make my sugar level sink low, my baby would grow so big, it would both put us in danger.

So let me count thy ways how I should live my life for the next two months…

= Zero Sugar!!!
= Skimmed milk only (ano daw?)
= Less intake of white rice (kaya ko to!)
= Less intake of white bread (lalo naman to, nde naman ako mahilig sa bread!)
= Walking for sometime w/o restraining myself (pano yun?)
= No banana (errr)
= No grapes (waaaaaaaaaaa)
= More vegetable salad, without the dressing (anu lasa nun?)
= No chocolates (oh dear LORD)
= No coffee (fine)
= No tea (not a problem)
= Stay away from fast food restaurants (pasara nyo KFC!)
= No soft drink (since nabuntis naman ako pinagbawal na to)
= Less intake of meat , if cant resist portion should only be like the size of your palm (pwedeng yung 2 palm ko? cge na please maliit lang kasi kamay ko e...at this point gusto na akong batukan ng asawa ko)

As I write it down I feel sadder than ever. Yep, si zam sad na takot pa...haaay
