BCS have your healthcare team suggested the Diabetes uk website at all? It has a section for people who are newly diagnosed and it has a menu/shopping planner that may help you a little.

Cheers for that hun, strangely no one had mentioned it to me but stranger still I hadn't even thought to look for it myself.

That will help me so much as i'm still struggling to plan meals for the whole week & tend to be eating the same things.

Before they doubled my dose I was having 3 high readings out of the 4, usually the fasting one, lunch & dinner whereas now it's down to 1 which is different each day.

Friday it was dinner, yesterday it was lunch & today it was fasting, hopefully I can get that sorted during the next week. :A

Thank you for all the nice replies with regards to being left out by friends I have been talking to OH about it, and his response is to tell them to s*d off, he says I dont need people that are going to leave me out and tell me I'm making a mistake having this baby. I guess I know he is right but these people have been my closest friends for years.

I have been speaking to a friend of a friend, have met her a few times and she is lovely. She has a 6 month old son and has been telling me that the same happened to her when she found out she was pregnant.
I have arranged to go round to her house during the week, so maybe its time to branch off and make some new friends.

at least it looks like it is going in the right direction for you I hope that site is useful for you.....back in the day when i was attempting to learn to cope with the restrictions I had on my daily diet all you got was a quarterly magazine called Balance and a big traffic light style book listing the carb sugar and calorie content of every food! :rotfl:

I know what you mean about it being hard Flower as my social group has been more or less the same through school and university and up to now where I am mid 30's and I know that it will be a serious wrench but I know now that moving on is totally the right thing to do If it helps any I am absolutely terrified about taking the first steps but realise that there is more to lose by not doing it

Mrs hope the kids are ok when they get home, can you contact your solicitor about OH and get him to write a letter confirming what you have told him? Im only thinking that your previous posts have made the ex sound a bit like a worm (no offence meant) and if he can wriggle out of it he might go back to court and say you are the one being unreasonable?

MrsS sorry to hear your ex is being difficult again:(. Hope you can see your solicitor soon to get things sorted though may be worth asking for a phone consultation due to current circumstances?

I have absolutely no intention at the moment of paying to see a solicitor after what it cost me last year (and not him due to him qualifying for legal aid at the time). As far as I'm concerned at the moment, he is the one who has broken the arrangement, so he can pay to go and negotiate a new one. He is a worm, yes! If I get a solicitor's letter from him asking to sort out contact I'll deal with it myself to start with, until any such point I feel I need legal help. I dealt with my divorce myself with no solicitor involvement. I genuinely believed last year when I went to see one off the back of his letter that I would qualify for legal aid, otherwise I would never have gone to one knowing how much it would cost me. I certainly can't afford another £500+ bill at the moment just because he'd rather do something other than see his kids :eek:

It never went to court - it was sorted between our solicitors in letters so that doesn't bother me either at the moment. I have kept a full record of every time he has changed arrangements etc. He is a compulsive liar so I have to. I seem to be used as a doormat at the moment because he plays on the fact that I don't like to say no, and he knows I can't possibly be doing anything other than sitting at home because he knows my pelvis is stopping me. I'm an easy target It's the kids that suffer, but he doesn't seem to be able to think past himself at the moment.

I've felt really crap all day. I know my BP must be high. I've got period pain niggles again too. I really need to just forget about it, but I'm so cross, and the kids have been so naughty today as well. They're probably reacting to the disappointment, but it's not really what I need right now

Sorry you're being messed around again Mrsspendalot send the kids to bed early and stick your feet up!

Am absolutely shattered - even though I haven't done much today. Ooh actually managed to get loads of lovely baby clothes in Tesco as they were having a half price sale, baby has a lovely pair of pink ugg style boots for £2 - completely impractical but gorgeous!

Hope everyone is well & hoping to see some news from the boldies tomorrow!

Evening all hope you are all well. I've been getting some shooting pains kind of where my leg meets my pelvis and I'm really hoping it isn't SPD starting as I had it with DS2 and it was horrible. I know a lot of you are suffering - is that how it starts as I really can't remember from last time!
