Hi there. Good luck with your scan. The waiting is so hard, so I hope you can do something to occupy you to hopefully help time pass quicker. I'm wishing away these next few weeks, but then again don't want to as my lovely little lad starts school in September (sob) and we're tied at the hip, so...

No problem. It's kinda nice to know you're not the only one habing odd highs. I did a few days carb-free when I was high and determined it was my basal that needed seriously increasing - like from approximately 1.9 units an hour to 4! My bolus needed tweaking too. I'm hoping they can help you at...

Hi there, I posted a very similar thread to you a few weeks back, on here, at approximately 5 weeks pregnant. When I was pregnant with my son (he's 4 now) I only had lows at the beginning. This time round, I had two insane weeks of crazy highs. I ended up doubling my total basal and increasing...

Bless you. I think I must have a really good diabetic midwife as she (all three times) has arranged for early scans. But then a few weeks ago when I was really struggling with highs and worring things might have been going wrong, my docs wouldn't do bloods or urine tests and neither would a...

Hi there, Just wanted to say congratulations and I hope your pains subside soon. I'm also type 1, on an insulin pump and in the early stages of pregnancy too (9 weeks today). I had insane highs for 2 weeks around 4/5 weeks pregnant that I couldn't explain so I had to keep on increasing my...

Thanks @NicoleC1971 - Yes, it's so clever how they can measure something so little. At my first scan with my little boy who's now 4.5 years old, he was 3.3mm at 5+5 weeks. Now I know how lucky I was to have found such a pounding heartbeat at such an early stage of pregnancy. I feel I've lost my...

Thanks again for your support. I had a scan today and they seen a baby and heartbeat (measuring at 7+5 weeks but I think I'm 8+1 weeks). I'm relieved but still worried and just wanting to be under the radar for a few weeks and keep my control as good as I can. I looked on my graphs on my meter...

Hi @kitedoc - thank you for the good wishes. I've been having loads of hypos this last week (probably heat and hormones) so my total basal has reduced from 98 units in 24 hours to 74 units. It's gone from one extreme to the other in the space of two weeks - really odd. Last night I had a hypo...

Hi @NicoleC1971 - thank you, that's very sweet of you. I've had a couple of good days' control, followed by the beginning of a lower spell today (4 hypos today so far). It's a rollercoaster. Mind you, I feel much happier having mild hypos (3.5 at lowest) than constant highs that won't respond to...

Hi @eeb123 - thanks for that suggestion. I've never heard of Fiasp, but I'll bring this up at next appointment if I'm still struggling. Thank you very much for replying. Hi @kitedoc, and thanks again for your support. I had a diabetic dietician call me up today from my local hospital (the...

Thanks kitedoc. I got an appointment at my docs today but they wouldn't do bloods as I am well in myself. I found that a tad odd, but there you go. They're handing me over to the hospital - where my DSN replacement is still to get back to me. My sugar levels have been around 7 to 8 all day, so...

Hi kitedoc, Thanks very much for your reply. I got a bg of 7.5 before bed at 10.30pm last night due to all the correction doses. I tested at 1am and I was 11 so I took a 6 unit correction and increased my basal again and I was 7 this morning - at last! So I've gone from 1.9 units hourly to...

Hi there, I've never posted anything on a forum before, so this is all new to me. Eek! I'm just looking to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar to me and what the outcome was. I'll try and keep it as clear as possible, but feel free to ask more questions if I don't make sense...
