[QUOTE="Tilly_S, post: 1690590, member: 357315"] Hiya congrats on pregnancy firstly Well done ! I have two little ones one is 7 and one is 8 months old Iv been diabetic for 17 years so Iv def had my share of ups and mostly downs with control ...my hba1 in my last pregnancy was 35 it’s now 40 with both pregnancy’s I made an effort to go against my dsn and stay on the lower side of sugars around 3-4 mostly and tested two hourly day and night because both times I had blood sugars going through the roof constantly no matter what my background lantus was ... or what I ate when I injected etc! I did follow all advice from doctors but no help and they were baffled too .... so yeah I took it to my own hands and over did my novo which worked fine for me ( I don’t advise anybody would do this because I have ) because I think I got used to running on lows it didn’t affect me too much I wouldn’t go low enough to pass out when I found a happy medium .... I did fall hypo on my sleep a few times but not often .... anyways my advise isn’t to do that .... stick to good carbs and measure out food if you are not doing so now boring I know but stick to simple things like brown rice , sweet potato , meats fish ) I do this now with sweet potatoes etc and it really helps me ) keep adjusting your back ground every few days yourself it’s trial and error and when you find a happy medium then consult your team ... I do and did split doses so 18+18 and it works perfectly for me but everyone is diff .... your hba doesn’t sound bad at all! Ups and downs are def inevitable ... I had some 20+ sugars in this pregnancy too but hba still ended up 35 there’s only so much you can do past the hormones to control sugars in pregnancy .... I was told by my first dsn nearly 8 years ago low sugars just affect Mum not baby but high does affect baby ... as long as most of your sugars are on track you and baby are fine xxx [/QUOTE]
