Baby Update

Well I just got back from the OB appointment. We could hear the heartbeat on the doplar thingy. I will be going to Maine Medical in Portland, ME in a few weeks to have a fetal echocardiogram done, and to find out the possibilities of having a baby with birth defects and such.

Pregnant

Well I am 10 weeks pregnant. I am extremely high risk, due to my being a type 1 diabetic that was not under control. So far things are going well. They have me on the loaner insulin pump. In one month I have brought my A1C from a 12% to an 8.1%. Under good conditions they would want me to try after I have had that at a 6% for at least 3 months. I am still high risk to miscarry, and to have a baby with birth defects, but I am working on doing what they are asking me to do, and praying. Will keep people posted with what is going on as I find things out.

Insulin Pumps 2

Well this weekend I have been on a saline pump, to get me used to the pump and all the neat features that come with it. Found out that it is 100% covered once I meet all the requirements of my insurance company. I also need to get off my but and find the letter from my insurance company in Washington to prove that I had prior coverage to waive the 6 month pre-existing clause that my current insurance company has. It should make things a lot easier once I get used to having a needle more or less stuck in me with tubing from the needle to the pump device that is like carrying around a pager, but I don't have to take an injection every time I need to lower my blood sugar, or want to eat a snack. I just have to change every 2-3 days the site that the quick-set is inserted. On Monday I will be getting the actual insulin in the pump, and once everything goes through with my insurance I will have my own pump and will be able to return the loaner pump. Thank you for all prayers. God Bless Michelle
