I FAILED THE 2-HOUR GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST!!! My doctor called Friday morning around 9:00 am. That was how I started my 3-day weekend with Jake. Nice, huh? This is what my numbers were:
Fasting baseline # was 95. NORMAL: 6?-112. - PASSED
One hour after the drink # was 208. NORMAL: 1??-200. - FAILED BY SOME
Two hours after the drink # was 148. NORMAL: 6?-99. - FAILED BIGGGGG TIME
My doc asked me how I was feeling. I said alright but very tired all the time - worse with my period. I wake up good after 8-9 hours of sleep and one hour later am drained. He said that that is from the diabetes. He asked if I drank a lot. I said "yes", but I always have a drink in my hand. FAILED AGAIN. He then asked about headaches. I said sometimes not often, though. My main problem is constant fatigue. It has gotten so much worse during the past 2 months. In November, I weighed 105 lbs. I didn't have as much problems with tiredness. In December, I gained 5 pounds. I started to notice that I was tired more and more frequently. Then Januaury with my period, I was a train wreck. I could sleep anywhere. I had gained another 3-4 pounds. Now, my period for March is over as of yesterday and all I want to do is sleep. I'm trying to get on the treadmill, but it's so hard when all you want to do is sleep. I don't have the energy to do *****!
So anyway, I go out to the doc March 23rd. I have to see the CF doc, diet person, and diabetes doc. GREAT!!!!! Let's just make it a day trip - better pack my picnic basket. LOL! With 100% honesty, it's not my diet. It's not. As a matter of fact, Jake's on his diet, and I eat many of the same things with him. I have only 1 diet soda a day if that. It's the pancreas. One year ago, my CF doc had to double my amount of enyzmes per meal. He told me that in one year or less that I would require insulin. He told me to conceive now is better than later. Well, here I am 1 year later! So yes, my time has run out. Like I said, I wouldn't be trying for too much longer. I said that a few months ago. I'm actually lucky. My sister (with CF) was diabetic at the age of 9.
They will probably be starting me on insulin shots. He asked me if I tried insulin via oral pills. I said, "Yes, in the past - Amaryl and Prandin. Neither one worked right. Then, my tests came up normal again so I was able to stop everything. I was only on them for a total of 1 year. Most times, I was just watched from a distance."
I really think I need shots. At this point, if it will place my ass on fire, it's worth it. All I want to do is sleep. I thought it was menstral related since I'm anemic but NOT ALL 30 DAYS!!! Well, whatever...
BOTTOM LINE:
I need to do whatever I have to do and that's that!
We are done trying to conceive. I won't go in with CF and CFRD. I won't. Like I said, lung-wise was so so. Diabetes-wise was 50/50. Now, it's 100% no. Ah.........
We have decided to just take a few months to get me straightened out and then consider private adoption or international adoption. We would like to make a decision by the end of the year. I'm not in any hurry.
I NEED TO FEEL BETTER, GET MY SUGARS UNDER CONTROL, GET BACK ON THE TREADMILL, AND HAVE ENERGY AGAIN. I FORGET WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE.
I THINK I HAVE MY PRIORITIES BACK IN ORDER.
BUT I COULD USE SOME WORDS OF WISDOM. IT'S LIKE A DOUBLE WAMMY! I WAS VERY EMOTIONAL FRIDAY. NOW, I'M MUCH BETTER, BUT IT STILL HURTS SOME...
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN IN ADVANCE! YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS GREAT TO ME!<img src="">
