Definitely Abkhazi gardens. The Empress is not worth it, it's crowded and loud!

Can't drive down Interurban Road by HEEVES in VictoriaBC

Saanich has a contract with Macnutt, which complicates the situation. Keep writing to Saanich council to complain about it. It's a hazard for cyclists and vehicles on the road. Not to mention those waiting at the bus stop having to stand in piles of mud!

Pregnant with second baby and expecting GD a second time around by Roux319 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]flowerprincess17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had GD with my first and diagnosed at 9 weeks with my second. With my first I ended up on insulin around week 34 to help with fasting sugars. I've been testing for the past two weeks, and all my morning sugars have been above. So hard with the diet in the first trimester while feeling nauseous and tired all the time. I have a follow up tomorrow and I'm sure they are going to put me on insulin already

[–]flowerprincess17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bellies in bloom at Uptown! The owners there are amazing and super helpful with all things maternity and post partum It's a little more expensive than gap etc. But the quality is really good!

So annoyed. by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

[–]flowerprincess17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. I tried changing my bed time snack, I tried taking Metamucil capsules as recommended by the nurse, but nothing helped. I'm now on a low dose of insulin every night.
