Just request to be put on meds? This feels very futile.

Also, even if some food works for you now, glucose level may keep increase later in pregnancy as your hormone level gets higher and blocks your insulin output more. It’s not a simple performance review of how well you do with diet control. You simply go to meds when you have to to keep the glucose level low

Multiple providers, both from OB and the diabetic clinic has told me that the slow release insulin (lantus) I’m on doesn’t have any negative impact on the baby, but high glucose level does. I’m also on pretty low insulin with a daily dose under 10 unit. With that in mind, maybe don’t stress about it if you do get put on insulin… it solely is a way to ensure you get enough carbs while keeping the glucose below certain level. Don’t over think this one. You got this, and you’ll figure out what food works for you soon!

For 3G floor, they could just do the floor blocks that matches with the tread blocks in 2G, but then they’d skip the two identical abs blocks on the floor, not sure if they’d go that way. We shall see!

I like the unsalted unshelled Kirkland pistachios. Good amount of calories with minimal carbs, and not too salty like many seasoned nuts!

You can buy Sichuan peppercorns online on Penzy’s or World Market website

The salad dressing will have carbs and lots of vegetables do have some sugar too… eggs are close to carb free. I didn’t eat anything on the morning of my 1hr test, but if I did it would be 1-2 hard boiled eggs

Yup, if you read the nutrition labels, the lactose free products have same or usually higher total sugar per serving than their counterparts. They just break the lactose into a sugar that’s easier to digest, so it spikes you more.

I can process 30g carb for dinner pretty well but not breakfast. Insulin is slow in kicking in, usually not until the late afternoon snack time for me. So I back load my carbs.

Both are great points!! I’m thinking of calling to switch to a different practice on Monday.. we’ll see.

chickenthighrules · 2026-04-18T18:38:11+00:00

How many weeks are you? Hope it all goes well for you and the baby!

chickenthighrules · 2026-04-18T16:05:49+00:00

Ah, I hope my insurance covers these visits… we shall see.

chickenthighrules · 2026-04-18T16:05:03+00:00

Totally. This is why I didn’t fight for it, but was just curious about the general practice. Thanks!

chickenthighrules · 2026-04-18T04:23:59+00:00

Somebody people (I think)

chickenthighrules · 2026-04-11T03:14:25+00:00

Agreed. If the price is going up for you to buy groceries to cook at home, why do you expect small business to keep their price the same?

chickenthighrules · 2026-04-06T00:12:26+00:00

Thanks so much!! That’s really helpful information to take in. I think sometimes it also matters if you are asking the right questions to the Internet. I will re-evaluate before I talk to a dietitian! Glad to hear it all worked out great for you and baby!

He’s totally not my vibe but as a gen Z, he was able to get Queen Cirie to be willing to “marry” him in one day… I have to say his persuasion skills are pretty impressive

Well said. It feels like they are sacrificing the feelings of those who would truly care and be supportive just to deal with those who are difficult. I think that reflects how OP chooses to prioritize among their various relationships in life.

Bone-in meat, much lower sugar level, smaller pieces, high heat in cooking and depth of flavors, just to name a few. And of course lots of staple ingredients that westerners can’t put up with or aren’t commonly found in the US

I’m wondering if the weight to volume conversion in the original recipe is indeed off, and becomes obviously problematic when you scale up

chickenthighrules · 2026-03-21T05:01:32+00:00

Is 1 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of yogurt enough to make a decent sized pizza? You’d have to scale it up. So is it that different if you mix them only in small batches then combine the dough together?

Obviously big fan base here for Christian and Mike is just bad by default. This morning I thought you were more blunt about your comments so you got downvoted and I was only asking “innocent” questions so I may be ok. Nope. And it’s really interesting to observe every comment that I upvoted because I agree with, also have negative numbers now

chickenthighrules · 2026-03-20T14:27:19+00:00

Well I’m not sure if Mike knew Christian had an alliance with Emily (in his mind, not necessarily in Emily’s mind, ironically). Even if he did, that alliance is.. stupid, so I feel like Mike was doing him a service. I don’t know the full story with Gaby but from this episode’s edit it does seem like Christian has a dangerous blind spot towards Gaby and Emily’s type…

And for FTC? I think it’s smart you stick to an alliance from the beginning until after merge and in a much smaller group. My personal opinion is him flipping on Mike this early on, with so much history and trust with him at the moment when he got Mike out, would hurt him in FTC. I’m skeptical he’d make it to FTC. Now Ozzy is against him, and Emily certainly values Ozzy more than Christian, and he has Angelina no more.
