I think that's what happened.. I have been being seen every 1-2 weeks and every appointment my bolus and basal rates were being increased. I think it had just all caught up and was slightly too much. After speaking to my specialist midwife the other day, she lowered my ratio back down but...

Hi, congrats to you too! Not too long now! How are feeling? Luckily I haven't gone below 2, I have the libre so that has been a lifesaver as awareness seems to be variable. I'm so glad to hear baby should be fine. I did speak to my specialist midwife and she said it's more normal to have...

Hi, thanks for your reply! That's very reassuring to hear. I have been prescribed glucogen. I spoke to one of my specialist midwives who said I should be getting increased insulin resistance as opposed to sensitivity but has lowered my carb ratios. Got my 12 week scan this thursday so will see...

I am 11 weeks pregnant(yay!) And have had 2 weekly appointments at my antenatal clinic, each time have needed adjustments to basal and bolus rates. Last week sugars were finally in range nearly all of the time but these last couple of days I have been having so many hypos - very stubborn hypos...

Thank you for your lovely reply. Made me smile. It is quite relieving to hear someone else's views of the pre pregnancy clinic- I feel so grateful to have it provided but the last 2/3 appointments I have left disheartened because of the unrealistic expectations! I had my pump fitted today - so...

Thanks for your advice, will start a diary tomorrow morning, hopefully will make it easier for myself to see where i'm going wrong. Ive recently changed jobs and joined the gym again so im hoping this will help too!

Thank you so much for your help! Its very much appreciated! Will definately look into getting the book. But since joining this forum i've already noted a few things down!

I have an appointment next thursday so will ask about it then. I cant seem to stay at a normal level, then when I do get to 5 mmol/L i feel like im having a hypo, panic then eat something to bring me back up! Im not very good at this! Would of thought after a year id no what im doing but...

According to my meter my 7 day average is 12.7 mmol/L. Although i have been running more along the lines of 15-20 on and off over the past few weeks! I find it very frustrating as im trying so hard and even changed my job role!
