I am 31 wks pregnant and have gestational diabetes. I have ADHD and I am very very very firgetful. I take my insulin maybe once or twice a week (when I remember) I always forget to check my gloucose levels. Or if I do check and take my insulin I forget to write it down on the chart. When I first started taking insulin, I had to read the prescription over and over again each and every day to measure the dosage. And still won’t remember. When I went to my Ob/gyn, she asked me waht my dosage was and waht kind of insulin and I didn’t know how to explain it, she got loud with me and told me that this is ni joke, I should know this stuff by now on and on and on, I didn’t even get the chance to explain myself to her. She was angry and told me to come back w/ my chart. I have been avoiding her now because I have skipped so many days. I’ve tried putting an alarm and when it goes off I forget waht it was for, no justice using a planner, waht can I do to keep up and be responsible? I want my baby to be healthy. I do eat healthy, but I am so forgetful w so many things…. I need to do something ASAP, I have skipped nearly 2 months on my Dr. visits. I instead go to the ER. Cause I’m ashamed and don’t want to face that Dr.
