Hi all.
We’ve been planning pregnancy for a few months (self funding Dexcom to help with sugar control etc). First pregnancy test was negative, thought nothing of it as it was out first month TTC. But my sugars have been very unpredictable this past 5 days, and I’m probably about a week late, so this morning thought let’s pee on a stick again - this time it was positive! Just wondering if anyone else has had highs in the first few weeks? I’ve read a few articles online saying the progesterone levels can cause insulin resistance (similar to PMS) but my DSN said that doesn’t happen & I must have an infection or something. I’ve been needing temporary basal rates of 200% at times & doubling my bonus rates too, then they suddenly drop like a stone!! I have a GP appointment in 2 days & clinic in 5 days. I’m doing what I can to avoid the highs & correct them, but just wondered if any one else experienced highs, my DSN has said it doesn’t happen, but if had a few disputes with her in the past about things.
Apologies if I’m ranting/rambling, just a bit lost & uncertain - I was prepared for the hypos, but not the highs this early on!
