Hello all,
I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and I'm seeing a weird trend this last 7 days as I have a Libre. My evening readings after tea seem to stay within target for the hour or 2 after eating and then slowly climb. I'm going to bed with readings of 6-8mmol instead of 5s from a week or so ago. I've adjusted my ratio from 0.4 per 10g to 0.7 per 10g and it's making no difference. Over night I always come down to 4s so my dose must be correct but I don't understand the slow climb.
Also I'm currently using novorapid and to stop spikes I'm taking it 40-50 minutes before eating. It's working well during the day but it's becoming a real challenge to keep this routine up with work. Im a teacher and so I have set lesson times and breaks. I can't inject during a lesson to prebolus and it's just generally making life a challenge as I'm very nauseous and sometimes feel like I need to eat to feel better but can't because I have to wait 45 minutes for my insulin to kick in.
Any advice would be so very helpful. X
