The approach of being a mother with diabetes

@Cuevast I am not as rigorous as @meginer 😉.

I have rejected the bomb several times, I give me Yuyu to have a 24h way a day in my body.With the feathers I go well.

I usually eat vegetables and grilled protein, a piece of fruit, and dinner only vegetables.

The bad thing about living with a non -diabetic is that of: it tests this, and now this another, total that my willpower is not as ferrous as 2 years ago

I make cardio strongly with Power Walkings, about 40 min almost the days, then abdominals and buttocks15-20 min, the alternate, and the weekend I give the bike and walk a lot.I don't have any gym nearby so I am subscribed to several channels.

I have taken weight, but above all muscle, I do not fit my pants 🤬 That the sport thinns ... Anyway.

Well, that you are less strict ... I think you are more, you do a lot eg of strength that I do not do, that greatly increases the sensitivity to insulin.You only dinner vegetables, I don't, me anything, fish, meat, egg, beans ... the fruit that I usually eat is mostly red fruits, but also like others although I see that I get a lot, especially at noon.At dinner not so much, it will be PQ to usually do the ej around 7 in the afternoon.

And yes, I do not lose weight for anything in the world, menopause makes more abdominal fat and I am a bit bitter with that, and also the muscle weighs, of course.

Thank you very much @meginer and @ruthbia!

What kind of exercise do you do?How do you manage it?I mean, do you eat something for example?I have started swimming a month ago or so and I have been regular because at 20-30 gr of HC before swimming (pavo or avocado bread), during training well (swimming 2000 m in an hour) but at the end it starts to raise my glucose for about two hours, I finish in 200-250 and put insulin ends up lowering little by little.The endocrine only tells me to be testing based on trial-error.The times I have eaten only one banana I have finished in hiccup before finishing training.

Do you use pump or feathers?

And do you have been eating few hydrates for a long time?Eating few hydrates can be harmful to long -term health?Have you ever told you?(I ask with all respect, because somewhere I have read that).

Thanks again!

@Meginer Menopause fattens but what about fatigue?I am hyperactive and I am surprised by being exhausted with half of what I usually did.

If I do a lot of strength, exercise of walking in different ways with weights, so I do both at the same time.And abdominals for fat, but it does not go down, I take the lorza and it must be like 400-500g of meat, it reminds me of the butcher when I ask for that amount to cook.

@Cuevast is a matter of willpower, at first it costs but then becomes routine.In the debut they tell you that 130 H Dr HC because it is what the body spends, but it is not true, because the body gets glucose by other means such as fats and proteins.

I made a 30 GHC diet to lose weight and I was just as healthy than with more hydrates, that if I lost weight that was my goal.

And meals away from home, how do you take them?How do you do so?I have a hard time counting hydrates and handling waiting times.

Hi, @gala91 I was a mother at the end of 2022 and indeed, it is a challenge to stay between 70 and 140 (in my case they were 150) but with a low carbohydrate diet, you can perfectly.Currently my hemo is 6.2 but in pregnancy I had it at 5.7 - 5.8 I think I remember.

I barely had to climb the slow, for example, but there are women who have to raise it a lot and quickly used a little but each body is a world.

I am not going to deceive you, it is a difficult and stressful situation since you have to be even more pending if it fits from glycemia but if you want, you can do it.

My son was born perfectly healthy, without hypoglycemia and weighing 3,100kg

All the best!

This weekend I have been out and all meals in restaurants, I have rectified with a dinner and breakfast that was normal and not protein bread, but well, I have been a daily average of 103, compensating peaks with valley areas.

@Ruthbia what a wonder!

I try not to eat hydrates, I try to ask for salads, vegetables, protein ... I usually put it when I already have the food in front (use fiasp) but normally I do not book from the peak and then it is difficult for me to return to the normal levels .. I give me a lot of anxiety and fear to get more insulin than I need and end up in hypoglycemia with active insulin .. I do not know how to overcome this.

The fear of hypoglycemia is a common problem among people who have diabetes.I leave you a link in case it helps you

Well, calculate by eye and normally I have to rectify at the time and peak with more insulin.I have put 5ud for food and wait ...

On weekends in my case they are a bit torture for that.I can't control it.An average of 103 is great ruthbia.
