Swiss Chard’s lock

The offsential Swiss jerks are young and gentle leaves. You can start the harvest at any time for smaller leaves that can be eaten raw in salads. Or, wait until the leaves are about 12 inches long with a solid stalk for cooking. Remove the largest external sheets first with a sharp knife or garden macals. Continue to collect individual sheets to encourage new growth leaves.

You can eat leaves and stems. Mature sheets chop and cook in Southés, Soups or p. Stop the harvest when the vegetable bolts and goes to a flower. The leaves will then be heavy and bitter. If you can’t eat or share all the sheets, just add them to a bunch of compost.

Circumcision

Common pests and plant diseases

On Swiss jerks can affect the newspapers of the Cercospor, causing older infected leaves into yellow and die. This fungal disease is usually happening when the conditions are warm and moist. To prevent expansion, you can use fungicide or remove infected leaves and pull and discard poorly infected plants. Use a thick organic mulch around the plants and water only at the base of the plants, not above your head.

Leafminers will feed on the surface of the Swiss circle of leaves. They are considered smaller pests pests, but heavy infections can reduce the quality and yield of sheets. Remove infected sheets and plants to destroy them as primary control.

When you are pregnant, you can expect – and you probably get nicely accustomed – a lot of prenatal tests. But one screening lots of fun who is having fun is a glucose test, which occurs around halfway through pregnancy to check the condition called gestational diabetes (GD).

The glucose test has developed a reputation for induction nausea because it turns on to slide a super sweet drink, and as a result some moms are wondering if they really need to do.

“Does anyone skip a glucose tolerance test?” The Member of the Community Member Babycenter ColeteRivers. “I think I’ll refuse. Anyone else will do it?”

Although it is understandable to keep on the idea that the sick-sweet drink is lower, here’s what Ob-Gyns want you to know before skipping this screening.

What is the glucose test?

The glucose test is also referred to as a test test test for glucose testing or glucose testing, the way for your ob-Gyn to determine if you have gestational diabetes. “This is similar to diabetes at the expense of adults, but is limited to pregnancy,” Christina Han, MD, OB-Gyn and Professor of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Faculty of Medicine David Geffen in UCLA. “It happens because your placenta pumps a healthy pregnancy hormone, but these hormones make it difficult for you to use sugar in the bloodstream.”

As a result, sometimes too much glucose (aka sugar) remains in your blood, and for some mums-beings, their body does not produce enough insulin to keep the level in check. This is a sign that you can have gestational diabetes. The condition usually develops about halfway through pregnancy, usually about 24 weeks, says Sherry Ross, MD, OB-GYN in Santa Monica, California. That is why the American Faculty of Obstetrics (ACOG) recommends all pregnant women to take over the glucose test between 24. and 28 years.

The test is performed in two phases: First, you drink a sweet drink, a typical glucal that contains 50 grams of sugar. An hour later, your provider will draw blood from your hand and test the sample to see if blood sugar levels are normal. (You will probably get results a day or two later.) If these levels look high, your doctor will probably recommend another test.

This time you will need to quickly in eight to 14 hours before your appointment. You will drink a drink with 100 grams of sugar, then wait three hours to get your blood out and tested again. If the results from this test show high blood sugar, you will diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

The good news is that if you get diagnostics of gestational diabetes, the condition is manageable, says Dr. Han. But it is critical to be tested and diagnosed. Potential complications of untreated gestational diabetes can be serious for you and your baby.

“If you can’t clean sugar from your bloodstream, then it indicates that a baby can get too much sugar during pregnancy,” she says. This can lead to changes in your small size and potential challenges during work, such as a greater risk of C-section and heavy bleeding after delivery.

Why do mom refuse glucose test?

Some moms who must have different concerns about glucose test denoting in the community and through social media:

They don’t think they could have gd

A common reason to want to skip it? “Some don’t think they would have in what way we would have diabetes,” says Dr. Ross. As a result, they might be able to feel like there is no point in going through the hassle taking another test, especially those who last for a while and could make them nauseous.

Gestational diabetes do not discriminate.

– User of the Bebecenter Jordanburley

There are certainly some factors that can increase your chances of having gestational diabetes – predominantly, you don’t get enough exercise, or have high blood pressure a few examples. But one of the reasons why the glucose test is so important because it is known that the condition is developing in moms without risk factors.

“This is my fourth gestational diabetes of pregnancy, (i) I never had symptoms,” he says he is a user-friendly user with children’s people Dallyitup. “I eat healthy, I have a healthy weight and bmi and practice five days a week.”

They think that the glucose test drinks will make their nausea

Other moms worry that the glucal will upset their stomach. “I’ve had a heavy eMetophobia for 17 years, which is a fear of throwing,” says the manningsmom community. “I heard so many people say how awful and how sick they got.”

Some research suggest that as many as 30% of pregnant women can have problems tolerating drinks. But it can help you keep in mind that 10 ounce bottle is “similar to sugar content in the regular soda,” says dr. Ross. To manage nausea, it recommends that drink drinks cool and drink a little slower.

Are worried about tastes or ingredients of drink

Some moms-which can say that they would rather avoid certain ingredients (such as coloring food) in the glucole test, and others still care about the inconspicuous taste. For both of these concerns, some moms work with their doctors to order something called Fresh testOpens a new windowNew administration of food and drugs – a registered alternative to standard glucose drinks.

A fresh test has a shorter list of ingredients and claims that is better tasting. “(IT) had an amazing, like a lemonade you would get with the fair, and never felt I could feel Icky,” says User Community Brettany3233.

While OB-Gynov’s office will provide you with a GLUCOLA drink, you would have to buy a fresh test on yourself before your meeting. This can be a good option for moms that are especially focused on the taste or ingredients, says Dr. Ross. “The fresh test was positively reviewed and approved by medical organizations as an alternative to traditional testing of gestational diabetes,” she says.

Insurance usually does not cover a fresh test, but you can use the HSA or FSA card to pay drinks, which cost up to $ 27 (depending on the formation you need), plus delivery.

Are nervous about blood by blood

Finally, some women have fear from blood extraction, which is an important part of the test. And unfortunately, more prenatal tests and procedures (such as NIPT and routine IVS) include needles.

If the idea does a little wandering, there are ways to feel more comfortable. “I’m terrible with the extraction of blood and always lying; it helps,” says User BeachyGirl82. “Also the ocean waves on your favorite beach. I have blood drawn this week and was fine.”

It is also worth a try, according to Dr. Ross, asks your doctor if I can use a smaller needle. “Bringing a friend or partner to hold your hand, listening to soothing music or exercise focusing or breathing care also helps distract from drawing blood,” adds.

Are there any secure alternatives to examine glucose?

All of the above concerns are valid but it is still worth testing for gestational diabetes. And while there are some medically acceptable alternatives to test glucose, such as the above-mentioned fresh examination, many others do not consider acceptable replacements. “The question is that many were not studied to make sure they are really equivalent to the original method,” explains Dr. Han.

For example, you may have heard of some moms looking for soda or sweets instead of glucole because they are better tasting and easier to eat. And was actually some research on this: ua 1995. StudioOpens a new windowScientists have found that 18 rail beans could be a reasonable glucose drink alternative, while a Recent study in 2013Opens a new window They showed comparable results when pregnant women ate 10 twizz. But these studies were small, and more research is needed to confirm whether more delicious methods can be reliably tested for gestational diabetes.

“Other forms of glucose, food, gels or powder, are not standardized to ensure that the person is given the exact amount of glucose,” says Dr. Ross.

The blood test Hemoglobin A1C is another common discussion of the alternative among moms. This test includes blood drawing To determine a person’s glucose level within three months without requesting you to drink sweets A drink. It can capture other forms of diabetes, but it is not considered a good option during pregnancy due to the way the red blood cells are processed when you are pregnant, explains dr. Han. It is not considered sensitive or precise enough to capture the gestational form of diabetes.

Lower line? The glucose test is still a gold standard, and the only ultimate way to check if you have gestational diabetes. And while I skip it can look tempting, especially if you are prone to nausea right now, it is still important to get this test.

Gestational diabetes can be developed without any symptoms or risk factors, and even if you were fine in previous pregnancy. “(My past) Three pregnancies, I passed a one-hour glucose test, (but) I am now on my fourth pregnancy and I didn’t let him down,” he said that, “says Jordanburley.” Gestational diabetes do not discriminate. “
