I'm about 30 weeks pregnant and want to avoid insulin this pregnancy. I've been having high readings before breakfast for the last week or two and want to bring them down. My recent HbA1c was 5.3, and a low carb diet seems to be working for me otherwise. I know that if I phone in results of 6.6 or similar for pre-breakfast that they'll want me on the long acting insulin - I'm supposed to be 5.5 or below.
