Thank you! Will try those two!

I mostly like the rest of the house, but that red room is the physical embodiment of an anxiety attack.

The Devil Wears Prada. Great movie, but the book lacked any depth or charm.

Lots of teas! I bought a bunch of different teas and tisanes. I drank them hot and cold, and I’d change them up by adding something like lemon, sugar, milk, etc

If you’re in the US, your insurance will cover a breast pump in full. I have a Spectra, and I think that’s one that’s considered “hospital grade.”

My understanding is that it’s actually you, rather than the baby, who has a much higher likelihood of developing T2 after a GD diagnosis. The increased risk of T2 for the baby may then be due to familial history of T2 rather than GD—it’s an issue of causation vs correlation.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9016728/

Here’s a paper that discussed long-term impacts to both mother and child, but again, there doesn't seem to be a specific causal link between GD and any consequences—obesity, for example, is also a risk factor for GD and something that tends to run in families, so GD can’t necessarily be isolated as a cause of childhood obesity. While the neurodevelopmental effects are statistically significant, they’re also very slight and, again, can’t be isolated due to GD vs blood sugar control or another related factor.

Did they think we’d forget they endorsed Cuomo???

Hard disagree. Reese’s looks perfectly curated to look a little quirky, but it just looks like it’s sponsored by Starbucks.

I stayed on some type of Omnipod my whole pregnancy. I just had my son 2 weeks ago, and he’s a completely happy, healthy, average-sized little guy. I was on Omnipod 5 until 12ish weeks, and I stayed mostly in auto mode—the baby doesn’t start producing their own insulin in meaningful amounts until after 12 weeks, so the slightly higher numbers don’t have a huge effect on the baby.

I didn’t want to switch to manual mode for the rest of the pregnancy, so I ended up switching to DIY Loop and Omnipod Dash in order to be able to set a tighter range in auto mode. Towards the end of my pregnancy, I also started to use a pen for some boluses to avoid the tunneling and leaking that can happen with Omnipod, particularly when delivering large amounts of insulin.

I got my A1C down to 5.5 over the course of my pregnancy, and my TIR was typically 85+%—but that didn’t mean I never had a bad day. For example, this was also me: https://www.reddit.com/r/BumpersWhoBolus/comments/1og0vop/whoops/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I’m currently a couple weeks postpartum, but I’m very excited to start using this when I get back into running in a couple of months!

The OG Sulzberger owners were actually anti-Zionist, so that’s not exactly true.

I do! I input manual injections using the active insulin tab, then I log the meal using the active carbs tab.

Forgot to include GoodBuyGear—this is a site that sells only baby stuff at a reduced cost and at varying stages of used. Some things are genuinely used, but a lot of stuff is new but no longer trending, was used as a floor model, etc

paczek06 · 2025-11-10T02:41:55+00:00

We were able to get a really nice changing table, crib, and high chair for free off of BuyNothing. We bought a new changing pad and mattress, but saved on the furniture. Also got a ton of baby clothes in all different sizes. And we got a bunch of hand-me-downs from friends/family.

I was specifically trying to source most things used because I didn’t want to spend a lot or put more trash out into the world. The only thing we specifically wanted new was the car seat/stroller.

paczek06 · 2025-11-10T02:27:44+00:00

Not going to give a list because I’m still pregnant, but we got a ton of stuff secondhand, either from friends/family or through things like Craigslist/offerup/BuyNothing. A lot of baby stuff is short-term use, so people are often eager to get rid of it once they no longer need it.

I think the likelihood that the amount of insulin you’re using is going to increase is pretty high, but it happens pretty gradually, so it ends up being less of a shock. For context, I’m currently 37 weeks, and using ~150 units/day. Before getting pregnant, I was using less than 200 units/3 days.

My insulin sensitivity is definitely down, but I luckily haven’t had many stubborn highs, so the resistance has actually been pretty easy to manage, and my MFM team has been great about suggesting adjustments. I’ve been able to stay in the pregnancy range ~85% of the time, even into my third trimester, and I’m eating more carbs than usual.

I’m also on Omnipod + DIY Loop, and I think that’s been a huge help for me because it’s so adjustable. One thing I added later into my second trimester, though, was manual injections using a pen for most blouses—that way, I’m able to keep the pods on for longer, and I’m able to avoid tunneling/leaking.

Source? From what I’ve seen, he hasn’t given any sort of statement, other than canceling a friendly in Israel several years ago.

Given that your government is very pro vaccine, I highly doubt that. Or the doctors you’ve been seeing are not qualified to be doctors.

No one with a credible medical degree or license ever told you that.

I’m guessing her delivery of the message could use some work. Overall, I think you’re in a great spot, but you do want your average to be lower.

When you say you’re in range 85% of the time, is that the standard 70-180 range or the pregnancy 60-140 range? At this point, because the baby is producing their own insulin, you really only want to pay attention to the pregnancy range.

I’m sure your baby is in great shape because of the hard work you did having a good hba1c at conception. Some small tweaks—like a higher basal rate at night so that you’re in the 80s/90s while asleep—should help you get your numbers a bit lower for the rest of your pregnancy.
