[QUOTE="busydiabeticmum, post: 1536271, member: 160151"] I took the vitamins for 1 week after breakfast. Then when I tested 1 hr later, instead of my usual 6 it was 8s... seeing as I hadn't changed what I ate and the change was instant I immediately stopped, Bgl are back to normal. The boots pharmacy vitamin d actually contains more sugar than vitamin d... the nhs pregnancy vitamins also have a higher amount of sugar than vitamin (vitamin d being the smallest amount in there)... I have found vitabiotics which my husband got for me today. No sugar, artificial sweeteners, gelatine free, vegetarian, gluten free etc etc etc. It is half the dose I need to be on so am taking two... will watch the sugars and see what happens, but seeing as there is nothing in them to raise Bgl I think/hope it'll be fine. I am now 30 weeks... and stopped taking then in the 29th week and started them when ordered to in week 28... I have an appointment next Thursday to see the consultant but at the moment she and my gp are at logger heads! Consultant wants me on a huge dose and thinks 33 nmol is too low... gp thinks I am fine and should be on only 800 units and so won't prescribe the liquid or higher dose... she thinks it is dangerous! Having researched it 75 nmol is OK but they prefer you (to get benefit) to have it at 125nmol or higher! They didn't say anything about blood calcification... nor about pregnancy levels! [/QUOTE]
