Hi all,
I haven't posted for months. I had a miscarraige in April at 8 weeks but the good news is I'm pregnant again and at 15 weeks! So far my Hba1c have been really good,,highest 6.4 and my last one this week is 5.4. I've been making my targets (<7 two hours after food and < 5.5 fasting). I have had a couple of wee spikes but nothing too dramatic. Until today that is - woke up on a 7.7!!!! Now, 3.5 hours after lunch my reading is 8.3! ( I forgot to check later hours after, stupid me). It was my birthday yesterday and ate low carb cupcakes (3g carb) and loads of carb free ( and sugar free) ice cream - am kicking myself now incase it was that.
I am of course now really panicking that I've done some damage to my baby . Are one off spikes ok, even if they've been happening for a whole day? I've taken correction doses of insulin today and they're helping but I can't stop worrying. Any advice or help greatly appreciated. I'm really anxious this pregnancy ( prob because of the last time)
Thank you all in advance
