blood sugar question

[Keepercjr]

I like whole wheat pasta. But if you want a more "traditional" flavor, try Barilla Plus. I love that stuff but can only find it in 2 shapes (sphaghetti and one other). I just wish I could find it in macaroni noodles. I know they make it, it just isn't in any stores here. FYI - I saw a consumer reports piece on the news a few years ago that said Ronzoni had the best flavor of the WW pastas. So that is the one I buy.

blood sugar falls faster than it rises.
i have diabetes and have for 14 yrs now.
the first sign of my blood going low is me thinking hmm i should have something to eat. then i get a headache if i dont eat, then i get pukey feeling, then if it goes real low i cant see straight, and i see bright lights.

ive read its better to have high blood sugar ( not great of course) but better than having low. of course- im not aksing to be bashed!!! just saying i heard its safer

Does anyone know if there are any harmful effects with having extremely low blood sugars on the baby while pregnant? I got into a pretty big disagreement with my endocrinologist because she wants me to take more insulin with my meals (an hour after meals my sugars were 90-120, but then dropping down to 25 2 hours after the meal, so I started taking less insulin and letting my sugars go to 130-145 after meals and she was like "thats too high!" but I'd rather have them a lil high then have me pass out and go unconcious with a sugar level in the 20's!!).. I am concerned because I have always, somehow, remained concious everytime my sugars drop that low... and have been alert enough to know to drink OJ right away... but what happens if I am not and go unconcious??? That CAN'T be good for the baby. If Mommy goes unconcious/stops breathing, BABY DIES! grrrrr she just really pissed me off because she seemed to not even care that my sugars were dropping SO LOW that I could pass out and die, but cared more that they were in the 130-140 range.

Pretty much, I told her that I'm letting my sugars go a little higher, that my CF doc and nurses and HIGH RISK obgyn said that 130-140's is okay, and she told me in a nice way that if i am not going to take her advice then she doesn't see why I need her. I told her that I wont be needing her services anymore and left the office.

In the process of looking for a new endo!!

Tina,

Like I said, I have been 'borderline' for years and as long as I'm no higher than 150 2 hours post meals, my doctors are happy. I just watch my diet.

As far as the consequences of a low blood sugar, I actually think your decision to decrease your amount of insulin is correct. I wish my endocrinologist would have told me the problem with a low blood sugar to a baby, but he didn't. I believe it has something to do with the lack of blood sugar quality to the brain. Don't take me 100% on that one. I think your sugars are fine with the decrease of insulin intake. I completely understand your concern.
