Hi there - I'm 6-7 weeks pregnant. In previous pregnancies I've always struggled to keep my blood sugar down - mainly in the mornings. In fact I have higher blood sugar at these times even when I'm not pregnant, so it's pretty much a pattern for me.
This time around, I've increased my night time insulin a little and also the breakfast insulin as directed by my DSN and my blood sugar is at normal levels -i.e. within the required ranges (amazing for me!).
I should be pleased about this, knowing how important good control is. However, I'm now worried that the lower readings (when previously I've had soaring readings at this stage) mean that there's something wrong with the baby/I'm going to have a miscarriage.
On a practical level, I know I'm doing all I can to make this pregnancy work. I have a second scan (first showed a heartbeat at 6 weeks) in 10 days time, so I just have to wait it out. But I'm terrified (have lost previous pregnancies) that my good control could mean bad news...
I've also been given HCG injections following previous miscarriages and not sure if that could be having an impact.
Does anyone have any experience of this or similar - any positive experiences would be great!
TIA
