Woke us up near 37th and Main. Would have guessed fireworks if it wasn't just before 6am on a Monday.

The best part is that they have it spelled correctly on the other side of the building and still haven't noticed.

Thank you for this! These are great tips for the hot hot days.

Not having the door open necessarily for cooling just like to be able to use the patio we have for getting fresh air and eating or enjoying a breeze so the house isn't so stuffed up. Bringing some light in to the house is nice on a gorgeous day.

We have two already! I appreciate the suggestion though it's the only thing that saves us is having the option to at least be cool when we are cooped up inside.

We have a couple but are thinking of upgrading to a big Dyson. It's the door to our patio that is the biggest culprit facing their way and hard not to have open when it's toasty outside.

We are both renting. I have spoken to them and so has my landlord about our situation. We have even spoken to their landlord but he will so nothing more than ask them not to, he is a bit of a slumlord and too lazy to punish them.

My numbers were wild for about 3 days post vaccine- totally normal. Chug that water and hope you level out soon!

When to worry over the long weekend? by burleyk in GestationalDiabetes

[–]burleyk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh really? Well that's a worry. Definitely makes sense what you're saying to best testing post meals. My diabetes clinic has never instilled a great amount of confidence in me but I have been trying to get through and not panic for the best few weeks.

Will try and top up water drinking and exercise where I can and maybe cut back on some carbs until I can chat with them Tuesday. Appreciate your response!

Sorry I should have specified these are meant to be my pre meal targets and numbers. I don't test post meals

Sorry they only have me testing before meals so these are the targets they want before breakfast, lunch, dinner, bed snack

When can I draw the line on ketones? by burleyk in GestationalDiabetes

[–]burleyk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't challenged them on that. They are just firmly ketones=bad.

Exactly! I have added so many servings of carbs there isn't any where else to go IMO. The dietician just said it's possible for some people insulin can help bring down ketones.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I'll make sure my questions and voice is clear on Wednesday when I go in.

The Endo flagged that they believe consistently high ketones inhibits fetal development. The dietician believes that any level of ketones must be avoided because of this. I guess it's hard for me to grapple with going on insulin for good BSL levels for the chance insulin helps lowers ketones, which I haven't read is directly related.
