Hello
I have had background retinopathy for a number of years now, due to lack of control, horrible grip of diabulimia for many years. Was told as long as I control now it shouldn't get worse, they weren't happy when I tightened my control so quickly in pre-preg, but I was eager to be ready for a baby!
I have hit the resistance stage and really really struggling to keep everything under control. I feel awful and keep correcting and upping ratios/basal, keep getting high readings though! It's so frustrating. I had a 4D private scan on Saturday (isn't 4D amazing!!) and she was a little concerned that baby boy is 3.28lbs at 28 weeks. I feel horrible, she said he is heavier than they would expect at this stage and his abdominal circ. is above the 97th percentile
I have my NHS 28 week scan at the hospital today so will see what they say then. Everything else looked good at the scan so I don't think I should be too worried... That's what the sonographer said anyway (she was diabetic herself).
At the moment I go to bed at 7-12, correct, test again in the night, correct if necessary and wake up at 5-12, really variable. So rubbish. I am so angry, frustrated and upset at the moment, I don't know what to do, I want to whack in loads of insulin but I don't want to drop it low
I have been told to gradually increase settings and leave it two or three days before making more changes, in which time I get high readings. I just worry I am doing more damage than good, I don't want to eat but know I have to so he gets all the nutrients etc he needs.
Hope the hospital move goes well
I love having ladies on here who understand the frustrations and worries, and just let me rant at times! Haha
