@Lynelyn Your gynae is very strict. If really gotta prick like so many time better put ice on your finger to numb it first.
Actually just cut the portion of white rice is ok, replace to brown rice if possible, eat more veg and proteins (egg/tofu/lean meat), fruits eat in smaller portion. If eat outside, no gravy, don't drink the soup in YTF etc., drinks no sugar.
I was also underweight, even now still borderline underweight.. I didn't really count calories, just eat more meat instead of carbo, was still drinking full cream milk that time.
@Happybump, @nvidia thanks for the advice!! It's not my Gynae who is strict.. It's the endocrinologist that he referred me to
So for your case it was prick 2x a week and it's handled by Gynae? Hopefully my lvls are ok when I start pricking tomorrow then I will try to negotiate for more lenience..
Thanks for the advice! Will load up on proteins and veg. What about the occasional indulgence? Eg fast food, yoghurt or bubble tea (zero sugar, no pearls) once a week? Is it possible? If not then I'll banish that thought for the next 3 months..
