Was diagnosed T2 about 3 weeks before getting pregnant I’m 7 weeks and 4 days. Was trying for 10 months unaware how poorly I was becoming. On metformin for 10 days and Boom ! Pregnant ...
So my first medication was 500mg SR metformin. I was 15st 6lb and for a 5ft 4in woman that’s not the best. Started slimming world in the hope of turning this around. But before I knew it I was pregnant ! So obviously Sw promoted free foods like pasta, rice, potatoes I had to have a serious think and Tailor it better. Despite my best efforts the metformin wasn’t doing it and was put up to the 1g SR metformin. This also isn’t doing the trick
So 2 days ago I’ve been put on lantus insulin before bed. I’ve been told to inject 2 units every night for 2 weeks. So far my waking BG is 8mmol despite going to bed at 6mmol. I’m worried that 2 units isn’t enough but I guess it’s just a transition period getting me used to it. My weight is better thought
I was 15st 6lb ten weeks ago and I’m 13st 13lb as of this morning . So I think it’s going ok on the slimming world and being careful with my carbs.
I’m just desperate to get my morning readings down. They gave me novorapid too but I’m not allowed to use it till after my 2 weeks of lantus
Anyone in the same boat ?
