Hi Guys,
I wasn't sure where to post this question as there are so many threads, but i'm sure one of you lovely lot will be able to help me or nudge me in the right direction!
I've recently found out i'm pregnant with my first baby (yay!) im very excited, however i've been waking up in the mornings with really high readings around 14 (!!?) but i've been going to sleep (around 9/10pm and taking my 24u Lantus) with readings between 5-7 and it's left me totally baffled!
I eat 3 good meals a day but I try not to eat anything after my dinner at around 7pm, should I maybe try and introduce a snack just before bed as i've heard this can really help?
I understand insulin needs can lessen or increase when pregnant which i've been fine with altering during the day as I can test regularly, however it scares me to wake up with such high readings after being asleep for hours. I'm only 5 weeks pregnant so i'm very cautious of the effects that high sugars can have, any help or advice is really appreciated!
Thanks! x
