    Unplanned pregnancy and extremely high HbA1c

    Like you I have been having hypos between meals - my consultant said that hypos don’t impact on baby but are not good for the mum. I’ve tried to keep that in mind and it’s helped me to feel a bit less stressed.

    Unplanned pregnancy and extremely high HbA1c

    Thank you all. I’m now 11 weeks and 3 days pregnant and have a scan this Thursday - feeling a little worried as not felt any nausea for a couple of days but trying not to think of the worst. Thank you myarnton1 for the offer of answering questions - you may come to regret it!

    Increasing basal to combat fasting highs....

    That's really helpful slip :) I've generally been doing my last test at 20.30ish but don't go to bed until 22.00-00.00 most nights.

    Increasing basal to combat fasting highs....

    Hi Slip, I gave the new basal a week and I don't eat pasta or pizza as I am on a low carb diet. My mum has been in hospital and so it may be down to stress that I have had higher readings generally (only slightly). I guess I am trying to work out how I will know that my basal dose is set...
