[QUOTE="Hellbunny, post: 359651, member: 46637"] Thanks, im just losing the plot with it all :( Only having the one baby so defo not twins lol. I think i'm just in shock as my first two pregnancies were so easy, i rarely went above 7mmol, my A1C throughout was always below 5, so seeing double figures is getting me down i think. I've increased my levemir but i'm waking around 1am low, i can get my 1hour post meal reading below 7mmol, but its about 3 hours later it seems to go up. I've spoke to my DSN who said my levemir must run out before the 24hour time, and to split the dose but i just end up hypoing. It seems its the dawn phenomenon as i was awake alot last night with my 2 year old and i checked at 3am and it was 4.9mmol, i checked at 6am and it was 7mmol, so i think when i increase the levemir thats where i'm going low. I know a pump would probably combat this as i could increase the basal in the early hours but i doubt i would get one due to funding in my area, and i can't afford one as they are really expensive. Thanks for replying it helps xxx [/QUOTE]
