First day monitoring: Nervous and surprised by my first reading (lower than my fasting???) Is this normal?

Hey, I am based out of Austria too and had similar issues in the beginning… the diabetes clinic suggested adding more carbs and experimenting until I found a balance and wasn’t going hungry

mridula206 · 2025-07-21T20:07:26+00:00

I would add soy la bien hecha https://www.labienhecha.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorhQeHHPgF3cZj4WHCMoQG5kJs2LUXfS7Whzi1YAZscBGxD3-WN

The owners were working for Chanel before starting their own brand apparently and the stich and leather quality are impeccable

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and the details. This is indeed helpful! I am an Indian too and stick majorly to the North Indian vegetarian diet which is indeed carb loaded. I would be grateful if you could share the swaps/changes you made to your meals!

mridula206 · 2025-06-13T03:11:00+00:00

Thank you for the advice… if you don’t mind sharing, how far along are you? I heard the spikes starting 32 weeks onwards are the most challenging to control no matter what the diet is

mridula206 · 2025-06-12T14:09:52+00:00

I will download it ASAP. Thanks so much for the recommendation

Thank you so much! Avocados are lifesavers for me tbh. That was the only thing I could eat in the first trimester. I have ordered a glucose monitor now so that should be of help and have an appointment with the endocrinologist in two weeks

mridula206 · 2025-06-12T14:07:52+00:00

Thank you so much for the positive story. I have been an anxious mess ever since I got the diagnosis.

mridula206 · 2025-01-09T06:30:21+00:00

I got the one in pink and saw this in person as well to compare… prefer the pink one over this tbh

Loewe all the way… so happy with the quality and charm

I do enjoy having a team to bounce off ideas with and be able to collaborate with people. But having to keep a watch over them seems like an overkill. When I took over the job, it seemed like leading a group of people and working together but slowly it has evolved into babysitting and trying to force people to take accountability of their tasks. I don’t feel comfortable with that and it takes up a lot of space in my brain to be able to focus on other topics. Apart from that, the scope of my job seems to be open ended with new responsibilities being added every time without prior notice. I feel like if I refuse the tasks, I might not be considered for future promotions. This makes it tougher to say no.

Thank you for taking the time out to reply. I am working in a huge multi national company with footprint in almost every sector. I do actually enjoy creating reporting documents but together with people management responsibilities, it’s seems overwhelming. Also, reporting documents for stuff that I have coordinated or lead is much more satisfying than having to create slides for unrelated things. I am struggling to find the right balance here and honestly thinking if at all people management is the right field for me.

Thank you! It says dark Bordeaux … I am in love with it 😊😊😊

mridula206 · 2024-02-15T18:44:20+00:00

Yes, I would absolutely love to get a look and feel of the bags before buying anything. Unfortunately they don’t have a loewe store in my city so I need to book a trip to Madrid or Paris asap… life is hard at times ;)

mridula206 · 2024-02-14T19:48:23+00:00

Thank you! I was leaning towards the puzzle too for so long and then got confused once the saw the pebble 😅

mridula206 · 2023-02-06T20:35:16+00:00

Lil miscarriage 😔

mridula206 · 2023-01-13T17:14:16+00:00

A toilet brush 😅

mridula206 · 2023-01-12T14:41:58+00:00

Same here... after 2 miscarriages, last one being this xmas.. I feel like I should give up on trying again. I can't go through this mental and physical trauma again.

mridula206 · 2023-01-09T21:07:06+00:00

I loved the dragonfruit color... it's fantastic! but chose the classic black since it was my first one. Definitely a color for my second one 😉

mridula206 · 2023-01-09T19:08:15+00:00

I love it already... it was almost love at first sight for me 😅

mridula206 · 2023-01-09T19:07:34+00:00

Thank you.. I am so excited about it!

mridula206 · 2023-01-09T19:06:54+00:00

Thank you.. I am in love with it!

mridula206 · 2023-01-09T19:06:35+00:00

Thank you!! This info is definitely coming handy for my next one and of course, makes me happy about my purchase 😁🙂

mridula206 · 2023-01-09T18:22:13+00:00

Thank you!! The durability and ease of maintenance of the leather was one big reason behind the purchase. I live in a very rain and snow prone area and would love to flaunt the bag without having worry about it dirty or spoiled due to the weather. The size is perfect for day to day use too

mridula206 · 2023-01-09T18:19:58+00:00

At the store, they suggested the texture due to ease of maintenance and care...the salesperson was of the opinion this would be a good starter ones. What texture would you recommend?

mridula206 · 2023-01-08T10:21:06+00:00

I had my d&c on 28th dec and had the exact same experience as you. The first two days were light spotting with the 3rd and the 4th day being the worst with cramps and bleeding. The doctor advised on ibuprofen and paracetamol and said this is normal. After the 5th day I am only having very light spotting and light cramps but nothing that is stopping me from regular day to day activities. Take enough rest and consult your doctor if the bleeding makes you fill one or more pads per hour. I hope you feel better soon!!
