[QUOTE="K8tie_x, post: 514810, member: 94189"] I was on novo rapid with my first baby and if I'm honest I never checked bloods one hour after meals as unless I had no carbs at all it was always out of range as I found my insulin hasn't finished working till 2 and a half hours so if I corrected like they'd said I'd be hypo constantly, this with trying to work full time was a nightmare. My DSN though wasn't too fussy as she knew the 1 hour bloods were so difficult it was the consultants but this time they said new research has shown its not the 1 hour but 2 hour bloods that are important. I think all diabetic teams give very slightly different information, try not together yourself too down about it as it really got to me with my first pregnancy. I'm now on a pump though and have found my control to be so much better, up until now (29 weeks) I've been brilliant with all readings but I'm finding I may need to cut out some carbs now as my readings have shot up all of a sudden. Have you considered a pump? I was really adamant I didn't want one with my first but after researching them this time I can honestly say it's been the best decision I have ever made, my quality of life and diabetes control has improved dramatically.
