Dealing with diabetes

I had hospital appointment on thursday and it didn't go to bad. I wish Caleb hadn't of been with me as he was constantly on the go and the things I wanted to ask I never did.
Fingers crossed next appointment will be in jan/feb so caleb will be in morning nursery so it will just be me and esmae.
The dr was pleased with my progress and wanted to actually work with me to get it right. He didn't seem to happy with the amount of hypos and that is one of the main things that needs sorting. The dr gave me some things to do before next appointment they are,

  • check blood at 3am every 3rd day to see if blood sugar is dropping in the night.
  • told me I have to have toast before bed, I hate this but really must as steve works nights.
  • Find out what 60g of carbs is for rice,bread, pasta and potato so I can stick to it for meal times.
Throughout my pregnancy I always had my eyes watched closely and in july I was discharged. When I told the dr and he looked at my eye photos he didn't look to pleased and is going to chase the eye infirmary up as he isn't pleased with their decision . So lets wait for the next eye appointment.

The one thing that intrigued me with the dr was he mentioned about coeliac disease with hypos. I previously was a coeliac when i was little. I mentioned this and he is getting me re-screened for it again. I don't think it will come back as a yes I just think with my constant hypos its something i have to deal with.

So after 15yrs of having diabetes I still havent got it right and still want it to go away.
