"Dear *****, that,s fine re the novorapid, please eat some carbohydrates with your main meals as you are on insulin, we will see you Thursday when you see the obstetric team, with your up to date blood sugars, thanks, *****"
This is the message from today, I didn't take my insulin for breakfast because my bgl after eating is 4.6 without it... I asked if I could stop that as I didn't think it was needed with the fact I was well below the target of 7.9... I don't know why she is asking for the up to date sugars as they get them straight away (I have been put on the agamatrix jazz which sends them my results). I don't want to be rude and this is why I'm struggling with an answer... when I put in results I don't say what I ate it mention carbs, I quite literally said I had to wait for husband to bring test strips as I had ran out and so didn't want to take the insulin without being able to test. I tested when he came home with my prescription and gave them the result which was after eating and 4.6... I didn't comment on this one. Also I am only taking Lantus at bedtime for the fasting and at no other time... all other bgl are well within range and stable (ie not fluctuating)
@Resurgam each pregnancy is different, my last baby was wonderful and so easy with low carb, this one has been harder due to food aversion. But comparing my carb diet babies to my low carb baby there is a huge difference, the carb babies were all huge but not good eaters and are short, my low carb baby was my smallest but is now my tallest, he isn't 2 yet and is the same size as my 4yr old. This little girl is already quite big (hc and AC) but she was several weeks behind while I was on carbs and quite literally shot up and caught up when I went low carb.
I can only hope I am doing the right thing. Each pregnancy is different... one thing I have learned is to follow my instincts.
