A new start...

I had a doctor apointment yesterday to go over my liver enzymes, which you may or may not remember were high for a couple of months. When I went in, I talked to my doctor and we discussed my options for my future. Ron and I are wanting to try and add to the family the end of this year sometime, I need to be healthy and have good b/s for several months prrior to getting preggo. We decided that insulin will be my best route, we have exhausted several different options with no luck at bringing my sugar down.

The game plan:
I am on 2 types of insulin now. One that I take at night called Levemir, it's a long acting insulin which means it stays in my system for 24 hours. I also take Novolog with every meal, whether it be 2 or 4, this is a fast acting insulin used to counter act the food that you eat in your system and prevent the spike in blood sugar after meals. I normally try and eat 3 to 4 small meals a day, so I take 3 to 4 shots of the Novolog depending on the amount of carb intake. I am some what used to this, I was on the same thing while I was preggo with Anderson. The shots don't bother me and since Anderson is comfortable around it that makes me feel a lot more at ease than it would if he was scared of the shot. My sugar is already lower today than it has been in probably 6 months. I took one dose of the fast acting lastnight, one with breakfast and one with lunch today, as well as the long lasting before I went to bed lastnight and my sugar when I checked it a while ago was 119. That is amazing.

My goal:
To stay on it. To keep it up. I have done really good with the no sweet stuff, that has made a huge difference. A HS friend of mine told me about a snack that she ate while she was preg and had diabetes, sugar free bananna pudding. YUMMY. So I am going to try and do my best to get things under control and maybe even get on a pump. We are really hoping to have another little Duffell in the family the end of the year.

Anderson keeps saying he wants a baby Carlee at our house. (a cousin that he got to hold and feed.) When we ask him if he wants a boy or a girl he tells us a baby Carlee, so... we will be crossing our fingers for a girl, but I will go ahead and put this on record... I think we will have another boy. I dont konw why, I just do! Of course either is fine, just happy and healthy.
