Here's whats going on......

Been quite interesting around my house since Friday. I've been checking my urine....LOL....I'm so much my own doctor...LOL! Checking it for ketones and glucose.....and suddenly on Friday....I have both present in my urine. Glucose off the charts, and the ketones at ++. Saturday was just as bad....so I fasted on Saturday night and went and did some blood tests at the labratory Sunday morning.....fasting blood sugar and 2 hours after I eat. I love how in Egypt you can just go order urself some blood tests. LOL!

There was a rise on the 2 hour blood sugar.....so I made my way over to my diabetes doctor....handed him my blood tests and the little chart of my glucose in urine and all. My insulin has been upped again, and he told me some story about the glucose in my urine. Really don't think I go for it.

What he's saying is that the multivitamin that I'm taking is affecting my urine.....I'm taking Materna......he says there is sugar in it...(ascorbic acid)......HUH? So I questioned him on it again.....and he didn't like that too much and finally told me.....stop taking the vitamins and u'll see. My question was to him.....but I haven't had glucose in my urine before......and have been taking these vitamins? (not to mention that the amount of glucose in my urine was off the charts....puh lease!)

I also told him about the way my heart has been pounding.....and he listened to it......didn't seem pleased.....and ordered blood tests for hemoglobin. Sigh. Results on that test tonight, insha Allah.

Sooooooo....with all that, I headed over to the OB/GYN....told her what was going on.....told her the story about the vitamins....LOL! She didn't laugh.....but she just said that the amount of sugar in the vitamin would not affect my urine to that extent. She asked me then....have you been eating anything really sweet? No. Then she said....have you been upset lately?

Hmmmm....yes, I have. In fact...since Thursday night. Sigh again.

So she got me up on the table and did an ultrasound.....the amniotic fluid has increased quite a bit she noticed......proving that my sugars have been high. She wasn't happy about the increased water.....which means thats more sugar around the baby.....meaning a well fed......bigger baby!! Well,,,,,,there is that possibility! So I'm to take care of myself.....not to get upset....eats lots of veggies....etc, etc. Insha Allah, that will be my first priority.

So what happened to upset me? Well, I was sick.....and hubby knew it.....but he didn't call me back, check up on me....and I started freaking out inside about it. Wondering to myself where the worry and concern was? I sent hubby a text message, definately not the nicest worded message.....basically saying.....WTH? LOL!

I did take the opportunity to tell him that the thought of me raising 5 kids alone is ridiculous and that his time is limited, cuz after I have the baby, I'm expecting solutions. And I'm expecting the solutions not to be dependant on me....HAHA! He said he's working towards that.....and many other things.....and I told him....I've heard enough words for 2 years...and this time I'm holding out for the actions. Allah knows!

I felt good about this conversation....I felt that I was giving my hubby a heads up.....telling him that after the baby is born....I want solutions. I didn't get into any of the details of my ideas of solutions.....but you know them all.......

Other than that.....I had a interesting time at the OB/GYN's office....I made a mistake and told people there that my husband is allergic to hash....HAHA.....I meant that he's allergic to grass......OOPS! So funny! Muslim woman that I am...telling people that my husband is allergic to hash....LOL....and I said it as easily as saying that he's given up beer cuz it hurts his stomach...LOL! Oh well......definately fixed that one when I was informed of what I said......SORRY EVERYONE!
