Sugar on the rise

I wasn’t able to track my blood sugar level for 2 days since I ran out of test strips and we can’t seem to find some in the drugstores that we’ve been to. Good thing hubby was able to finally get hold of some yesterday. Unfortunately, when I tested, my pre-dinner BS (6:15 pm) was at 141 :( , after dinner BS (7:30 pm) was at 157 :( :( :( (dinner was 3/4 cup brown rice and 5 shrimps with butter and garlic) and my late night BS (10:15 pm) was at 96 (thankfully it got lower already). But then again, I woke up this morning and took my FBS (8:15 am) and it was at 101!!! :( :( :( I haven’t gotten these high numbers for a long time. Looks like I would have to adjust again my food intake and insulin dosage to correct it. I’ve been happy that my sugar level has been at the normal level for quite some time. Maybe this is the time which my endocrinologist warned me wherein my blood sugar would rise due to my placenta even if I was eating the right way. I’m 25 weeks pregnant and usually this is the time where pregnant mothers are given the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) to see if they have gestational diabetes. Anyway, I better monitor my food intake and blood sugar more intently these coming days. Good thing I’m due for my monthly checkup with my endocrinologist next week so she can advise me what to do. ***UPDATE*** Nyak! Super major booboo!!! I tested 1 hr after my breakfast and it was at an awesome high of 181!!! HUWAT?!?! That can’t be right! I was on the verge of testing again when I noticed the vial of my test strips…the Code says 45! Super nyarks! Sabi ko na may mali e… My glucometer was set at Code 2. Haaaaay! I’m so used kasi to having vials with code 2, this is the first time we got a vial with a different code. Haaaay…so that means all my tests from yesterday until this morning are all wrong! shocks! all those wasted strips! :( Each strip pa naman costs Php25 each. Anyway, I finally calibrated my glucometer (thanks to an online manual on how to code my meter) and tested again…it was at 152! That’s still high! My max for 1 hr after meal should only be around 140. :( oh well… at least it’s not as super high as 181! Oh well…looks like I still have to adjust my food intake and insulin dosage…
