Hi, wondering if anyone can help or has had any similar experiences?
I am 5 weeks pregnant today and I am a type 1 diabetic, diagnosed 12 years ago. I suffered a missed miscarriage about 5 months ago at 9 weeks after trying to concieve for 18 months. At the time my hba1c was 48. Since then I have been meticulous with my blood sugars and my last hba1c reading, taken in November, was 28. Since I became aware of being pregnant just over a week ago I've upped my sugar testing to as much as ten times a day. However, I've had several days over Christmas where my blood sugars have been less than 6 1 hr and 2 hrs after eating my evening meal, but by 3 hrs they have gone up as high as 9, despite me not eating anything.
I'm soooo stressed out, firstly because I'm not sure why this is happening and because it could have happened more times than I've noticed when ive assumed my bloods will stop going up 2 hrs after I've eaten and haven't checked again before bed. More importantly, I'm extremelyworried about the impact this is having on the baby - both the high sugars and the spikes. My head is preparing me to expect a miscarriage again as a result of dodgy blood sugar.
My doctor just says I'm doing all I can and what will be will be....
