DE: Your BSL are good but you're starving yourself, eat 9 serves of carbs a day.
Patient: I'm sure my BSL will shoot up if I do that.
DE: If it does, there's nothing wrong with you or what you eat. It's the baby's placenta and your pancreas at war against eah other.
Patient: Sigh. I've lost 2kgs in a week.
DE: That can be a worry. We don't want you losing any from the baby. If your BSL shoots up high with added carbs before your next ob appointment, call me. We'll arrange a meeting with Dr. Hague and decide if you need treatment with tablets or insulin shots.
Patient: I'll try.
DE: Don't worry too much.. it is temporary. Only 10 weeks to go, then you'll be fine. See your ob and let her know I want you to increase your meal.
Patient: Think I can sneak-in a tiny cake for V-Day?
DE: No. But ask your husband to take you out for a nice dinner and desserts after delivery.
Patient: B, strawberry milkshake once the baby's out!
