Hi all
I am currently 14 weeks pregnant, T1, recent hba1c of 6.4.
My doctor says I am doing well in terms of controlling my blood sugars except for my numbers at 1 hour within eating. He says it is this figure that is the most important since it represents the peak of the food. My targets are something like 7.6 or below within 1 hour of eating and 5.5 or below 2 hours after eating. Now I can get to my 2 hour target probably 70% of the time, but I never get to my 1 hour target, it's always in the 9s or 10s, even 11s at times....however even with these high peaks I can still reach my 2 hour targets. On the very rare occasions I have reached my 1 hour target, I will hypo soon after.
Does anyone have any advice-experience on how to get to the 1 hour target. Obviously pregnancy is such a anxious time that I am desperate to do everything correctly for the sake of my baby.
Any help would be much appreciated.
