[QUOTE="Carole_Type1, post: 1006840, member: 205165"] Hi Everyone, I am 25 weeks pregnant and was told from the start by my diabetic ante-natal team to expect my insulin needs to rise steadily in the second trimester, however in the past couple of weeks I have been noticing more and more hypos so have actually had to decrease my basal rates by up to 20% at some times of the day. I've read that falling blood glucose levels towards the end of pregnancy can indicate a problem with the placenta - does anyone know if this could be the case for the second trimester too? Is anyone else experiencing falls in insulin requirements rather than increases? [/QUOTE]
