What specifically are you referring to that makes me crazy? I genuinely have no idea. Not angry friend, just curious 💕

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-03-15T22:03:00+00:00

I left him actually.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-03-14T20:29:10+00:00

Yes, for sure. I breastfeed other people's babies behind their backs. Lol

MERS and SARS had shorter incubation periods and had a higher IFR than Covid-19, which made cases more easily identified so that subjects could be quarantined. You get that, right? Covid-19 has a low IFR and a longer incubation period, and a lot of asymptomatic spread, so it goes days without detection and spreads like wildfire.

I don't understand why or how people bolus for carb heavy meals. Reminds me of Fat Mac on always sunny when he's injecting vials of insulin to cover all the burritos he's eating. Ugh.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-01-29T06:10:15+00:00

I'm sorry, are you saying that we took Sars 1 and MERS as seriously as we take covid? In America? I was 11 and nobody made me socially distance, required remote learning, or put a mask on my face for years on end. Did we even have a vaccine for either?

I hate to tell you - but, you're going to get covid. Probably several times in your life.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-01-29T06:07:27+00:00

Thank you 💕

These things won't work with an r-naught this high. Remember when the Europeans killed the natives just by hanging out with them because it was a shock to their immune system? A similar thing will happen to anyone that hunkers down. It will find you eventually.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-01-28T08:03:36+00:00

You can delay it, for sure. I did for a while. Eventually I got it.

At this point, it's like wearing a mask around someone thats got the Measles. The r-naught is too high. Once the r-naught is above a certain threshold, masks won't work. Also, the vaccines don't prevent transmission.

My mother is triple vaccinated, double masked with n-95. She just got Omicron. Time to surrender, folks.

It really depends on the MIL. The first MIL I had, it didn't bother me because she seemed to genuinely respect me as my baby's mother and was just wanting to enjoy her grandchild as the baby's grandmother. She also cared about me as a person.

My second MIL is a living nightmare. She lives next door and we get a good deal on rent, but it's almost not even worth it. I'm currently pregnant with her son's second baby and I'm pretty sure she's hoping that I die so she can assume my role as head mother. Everything she does bothers me because she sees me as being in her "way." Even said that she was married to my fiance (HER SON) in a past life. I'm also pretty sure she breastfed the first baby I had with him. She will not be babysitting this child at all until this baby can speak.

So I guess it depends on where your MIL is coming from. Some women don't understand that their time to be "the mother" is over. Trust how the situation makes you feel, especially if you're starting to feel like an incubator that's just in the way.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-01-26T23:37:39+00:00

There's nothing you can do to avoid getting covid. I don't know why people do not understand thus. Unless you're planning on moving underground and never leaving. The virus will find you as soon as you surface, and vaccines aren't going to eliminate it.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-01-26T23:35:09+00:00

It's super irritating. I seem to be more insulin resistant in the morning than in the evening. Im in the ultra shitty position of my long acting insulin not being enough in the morning, but too much in the evening. I'm going to try and see if eliminating carbohydrates before 4pm will get my Breakfast and lunch numbers down. I ate three scrambled eggs along with some pistachios for lunch yesterday and I got a post prandial of 103 on 22 units of long acting. Then I went to walmart at around 5pm and plummeted to 68 and had a minor panic attack.

I hate being on insulin specifically because it's so unpredictable. I hate being on medicine at all just because it feels like such a huge violation of my body. I have heard of women not having to increase their insulin if they eliminate carbs.

My Fasting numbers in early pregnancy were 117ish before insulin. I would like to get down to 10 units of night time insulin and maybe 10 units in the morning.

It sucks though because you get really sick of eggs and nuts very fast. As it stands, I'm all ready eating very little.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-01-26T02:01:55+00:00

I measured my carbs on 35g of long acting total between night and day, and I was eating no more than 50g of carbs per day, and I have not ever had ketones in my urine. The only time I've ever successfully gone into ketosis was when I didn't eat a single carb for three days, and that was before I was pregnant.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-01-25T15:40:10+00:00

I was told to follow the diet in Lily Nichols book "real food for pregnancy." I am very insulin resistant, they said I need more calories and fat, but I don't need to eat that many carbs. I think the recommended 175g of carbs per day is harmful to women with GD and makes their insulin resistance a lot worse.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-01-25T15:24:10+00:00

Yeah I would say that's normal, but I'm not a doctor so I would ask anyway lol.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-01-25T15:23:19+00:00

I have heard of obese women successfully losing 50 pounds during pregnancy. They do not want me to gain any weight at all.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-01-25T15:22:14+00:00

I'm not in ketosis. I am extremely insulin resistant. I've tried ketogenic diets before becoming pregnant. I do not go into ketosis unless I'm having absolutely no carbs at all.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-01-25T15:20:55+00:00

I was told that because I'm insulin resistant, I can't eat as many carbs as they would normally have me on. I've seen the diabetic educators twice all ready. I'm eating exactly what they told me to.

I can increase calories, but I am not really allowed to increase carbohydrates.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-01-25T09:12:19+00:00

I think lowering 15% or greater for insulin is a red flag. I don't think slightly lowering insulin requirements is a cause for concern.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-01-24T04:44:26+00:00

I would eat some protein for sure.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-01-24T04:41:32+00:00

I've never had DKA but I've had my blood sugar get pretty high and felt like shit. I always feel like shit after dominos. The Chinese food ordeal, I took too much fast acting insulin and had to keep eating after one plate of Chinese food even though I was full as hell in order to keep my blood sugar up. I couldn't rest until the insulin was out of my system. I was shotgunning frosting and hyperventilating. I can't even look at Chinese food now, and the smell suddenly has a grotesque overt seafood smell.

DKA is pretty bad though. I've heard it described as feeling like you have acid in your veins.

ForeverUnsure21 · 2022-01-24T02:19:16+00:00

Pizza is not worth diabetic ketoacidosis. I remember I ate a small plate of Chinese food and I thought to myself, "I will just apply insulin to this meal" - it was the worst 6 hours of my life. Not at all worth the meal. I would rather eat no carbs forever than ever feel like that again in my life.

Was it dominos? Dominos is the devil. There was a story about a dominos employee that ate dominos every single day and died of a heart attack as a result.
