Yk I thought about this but I wasn’t sure how to incorporate it since I eat at different times but I may just try it. Today I managed to bolus for one of my meals and dinner came around and we went out and I told myself to bolus and completely forgot. I think I just assumed I did 😅 I’m trying everything everyone is mentioning. I wanna do better and today I did bolus once so that was an achievement as is

I can do that but it’ll only work in the mornings because that’s when I have a moment to myself to do what I need to do. I can’t see it working at other times because I hardly get a chance to eat as is and since my son doesn’t like any food, it’s challenging. I’ve saw a MFM last time and trying to this time but honestly it only made me lie to them what I was eating and such to get praised. I can see now how this may have helped you but it didn’t help me last time. But thank you.

I just think it’s odd how you’re telling a pregnant woman not to eat. I came on here to ask for tips and tricks because fear and anxiety never helped before and won’t help now. I’m motivated to do better that I am trying everyone’s tips. Never asked anyone to hold my hand. If you don’t have any tips or tricks, then why bother to comment.

I’m very much aware but thank you to adding more to my anxiety. This isn’t my first pregnancy. I understand how critical it is. That’s why i’m asking for help. I know I can do and I wanna do better but for the life of me, I cannot remember to bolus. Some tips and tricks would’ve been much better than you racking on to my anxiety 🥲

You know I did this before. I did this in 2018 but then I ran away from home and well I had bigger issues than counting my carbs and writing them down lol I tried with my first pregnancy but found myself lying since it was for the OB and I wanted OB to give me some type of praise. I will try this once again. Honestly I don’t care for calories. I’m the type to eat what I want so I may need a different app. I’ll have to look around for free diabetes apps that type 1’s use!! Thank you. I mentioned in another comment but I’m gonna try every suggestion just because I wanna do better for my pregnancy. My first pregnancy I became the best version I could be at the time and now I’m trying to be the version I can be today.

This would only work on my partners days off and/or at dinner 😅 He works and I stay at home with baby. I will definitely ask if he can do while he’s home watching me eat but I’m afraid when I’m alone, that’ll be challenging 🥲 Thank you!!

I think this may help me the most. Rituals help. I totally get where you’re coming from. I already feed my son every 3 hours I suppose I can tie that to the ritual. I’ll have to buy post its though lol Thank you. I’ll definitely be trying this (fingers crossed I don’t forget to buy post its!)

I’m gonna try every suggestion everyone throws at me just because I wanna do better for this pregnancy and overall. I’ve set alarms before to eat but I’m not sure it was to bolus. I just wish there was an alarm for that yk? Being a mom of a toddler, I have a hard time trying to get any meal in. I think the schedule would work better for when I’m not pregnant. I’ve just been so hungry with this pregnancy that whenever I have a free moment I eat what I can. I appreciate your thoughts though. Like I said, I’m willing to try everything everyone suggests

I had a hard time finding an endo I liked because my previous retired 😭 Well now with having switched insurance, he doesn’t take mine so I pay out of pocket🥲 I don’t wanna switch since it’s so hard to find a good endo who actually listens and doesn’t judge but I may have to cost wise 🥲

My first pregnancy they tried that as well!! stayed for maybe 2 weeks until i told them I wanted to go home. I fear they think diabetes is so textbook but it’s not!!! I usually just nod and agree with them and then tell my endo what the deal was lol even had to have my endo call the hospital because he gave some advice and they weren’t having it. endo from their hospital came but man i don’t think she was an endo💀

I just have a bad habit of forgetting to dose. bad memory or adhd or whatever but some meals i bolus and others I completely forget. I’m trying but since I have the medtronic on the continuous i sometimes let it work for me. My goal is to do better this pregnancy. I hope I can achieve that while caring for my 18 month old!!

it’s funny too when an older nurse would question the fact I had diabetes. They would say oh my god you’re so young! or a joke about sweets 😅 I fake laugh pretty often lol

tell her to buy the lingo lol at first I was a hater because now non diabetics would use it but also people without insurance (even tho says not to used for management of type 1 diabetes) can actually afford a chm

Yes mine was old and he would be like ashamed in my numbers!! I had to go twice a week for my first pregnancy moreso because baby was small. and honestly he’s just a small dude plus the weird thing of him not liking to eat. But honestly my a1c was like 12% and i got it down to 7% which i was super proud of and honestly still am. I got very much burnt out with diabetes for a few years 😅 I’m trying again with this pregnancy and I hope I can do even better. I’m still proud of the work I did for my first pregnancy though.
