    Just so you know...

    Not all diabetics are fat! I am a 4 shot a day diabatic and I'm not fat! Matter of fact, diabetes eat the fat off of me faster than I can put it on, the reverse of MOST diabetics, I know! But I just wanted everyone to know that you can be diabetic, even if you are not fat!

    (i think) you're a type 1, what you describe seems to be a common thing.

    Why the hell did MacDowells name one of their mascots 'Grimace'? Isn't that an awful fucking name for a kids character? According to Webster (the dictionary, not the little black kid) a grimace is a facial expression usually of disgust, disapproval, or pain

    Type 2 tends to be brought on by being overweight. Type 1 is more brutal and tends to eat away muscle and fat if it's not well controlled.

    speaking... er... typing of blood shugar, my wife's crazy obgyn has decided that she needs to test her blood sugar 4 times a day and be on a low carb diet for the remainder of her pregnancy -- like 10 weeks or so.

    she took a 1 hour blood sugar test and apparently failed it by a small margin. she recalled after the fact that the person drawing her blood came back at 50 minutes instead of a whole hour, but didn't think anything of it at the time. anyway, the doctor says she needs to do the whole 3 hour ordeal to verify. so she does and passes it. but the stupid doctor just wants to be sure, so it's low carbs and blood tests. she's testing like low 80's.

    she's lost like 5 pounds in the last week. wtf is that about? she shouldn't be losing weight right now. i mean, it's not like she's overweight or anything. this doctor is a total quack or something. i'm telling her to knock off the diet and just test her blood (to prove there's nothing wrong with her diet -- particularly since she's a vegetarian and low carb vegetarian diets are difficult even when not pregnant).

    that's my rant on blood sugar.

    oh, the device she got to test her blood is pretty cool. as blood drawing devices go, i guess.

    S-nut... pregnancy can fuck up a woman's blood sugar as well as several other body systems if not keep under close watch. Better safe than sorry- especially when 2 lives are involved. Diabetic women (even women that are just diabetic when they are pregnant) tend to have babies that store a lot of fat and have some big-ass babies and when those babies are born, it's hard to keep their body temp up to normal.

    As far as her weight, that's not a big loss. She's close to the end and if they can control her blood sugar, the baby does nothing in the last 4 weeks except get fat and ready for delivery.
