Hi all,
Just wondering if I can ask if others have encountered this as well - I’m currently 19 weeks pregnant and generally eating pretty well. Taking mealtime and overnight insulin (T2 so low dose so far - generally 4-8 units for meals depending on what I’m having, and 6 units overnight).
The last few nights I’ve noticed my glucose going hyper at around midnight every evening - many hours after I’ve eaten my evening meal. It’s stressing me out because I don’t like going to sleep not knowing what direction it’s headed in and worrying about exposing the baby to excess glucose overnight. Is there anything anyone can recommend to counteract this? I know from 18 weeks onwards my IR is meant to increase and controlling glucose will become more difficult but I’ve been spoiled by it being so well controlled thus far and the anxiety/worry about the baby is getting to me.
Obviously going to contact the diabetes team at the hospital but not sure if I’ll get a response over the weekend so wanted to get an idea of others’ experiences.
Thanks so much!
