Hello guys. I appreciate that this post is a year old but i really need some advice. I am type 1 diabetic and have been for 10 years. I have completed the dafydd course same as daphne but welsh version. My ratio is 1unit per 10g of cars and 1 unit reduces level by 2. I have had a little boy 2 years ago and all successful and well. However i am having the same issues again. My hba1c is 7.4% and it was 7 last time (i did get it down to 5.7%) but during the whole 9 months i suffered witg hypos 3 times a day or more. I am now having the same issue. Basically ive been told i need to have a fasting level of 6, then less than 8, 1 hour post meals. Whats happening with me is my levels are say 9.7 1 hour post meal and then 2 hours post im getting 2.7 and this is happening all of the time. Im getting sick of it now and im wondering if there is anyone else who has had this issue and how did u combat it? I ended up putting on 4 stone in my last pregnancy and i dont really want to go down the same road again as ive just managed to lose it. Im now 5 weeks. Please help guys, nurses seem to think its just me, but i cant see that being the case x
