Hi all,
I am currently 35 weeks pregnant and have regularly visited this forum. The advice provided has been extremely helpful and reassuring therefore thank you all.
I have been type 1 since 18 months old therefore very familiar with my diabetes and have good control. I inject Lantus twice a day and Novorapid. I do carb counting and my HBA1Cs have always been good.
I am now writing because I am a little concerned with the fact that I have 3+ of ketones in my urine and my blood sugars have been a little elevated today. I was 9.2 at lunch for which I gave my usual ratio plus 1.5 correction but my blood sugar has not fallen below 10 all afternoon with the highest at 12.8 .
I did have my check up at the hospital this morning at which I did register ketones but they didn't seem to think it was an issue. I have been drinking a lot of water today in case it's due to dehydration but it doesn't seem to have cleared therefore I am unsure what to do next.
My last reading was at 18:17 and it was 10.9 therefore I have given a correction of 2 in the hope of getting it back to normality.
My question therefore is what action should I take? Is this dangerous for my baby? Do I continue to try to get it down at home or could it be that there is some underlying issue for which I should go to the hospital? I should say that I feel extremely well in myself so am very confused.
Thanks
K
