well, done with the class. i learned about gestational diabetes, what causes it, how to eat and exercise, and how to prick my finger and understand my glucose count.

at the class, after eating carrots and almonds, blood sugar was 82.

ate pho for dinner (someone made me hungry for it when she was eating it the other day...lol)...measured the noodles so i only got 1 cup, which is 3 carb servings, my max for dinner.

after an hour, my blood sugar was 174...yowzas...supposed to be under 140. think the pho soup might have done me in...

went for a 20 minute walk, bocha'd, then measured again...down to 103.

looks like i gotta do a lot more walking after meals to control it. i was pretty depressed after the 174...

i need to start drinking some milk, even though 1 cup equals 1 carb serving. i know i'm not getting enough calcium.

oops, 9 already. gotta eat a snack...1 carb, 1 fat, 1 protein. that means like 1 bread slice, 1 teaspoon butter, 1 boiled egg...1 bread with 1 1/2 T peanut butter...hmm, that sounds good...
