I'm relatively new type one and also 26 weeks pregnant. On insulin since March. I just had my first hypo. My question is why did I have one? It was around 5 pm. I had lunch tested before, gave insulin and tested again after all results were normal. Then on my way home from work 3-4 hours later...

Hi. I breastfed after my first pregnancy and went back to being latent with my sugars in the normal range. I was still breastfeeding my 1 year old when I fell pregnant this time round. The diabetic consultant told me that breastfeeding was good as some of my sugars are leaving my body via my...

Thank you for your response. Thankfully I managed to avoid going low by drinking some lucozade with a meal of brown rice and meat and then eating some cereal a few hours later.

Hi everyone. Thanks so much for checking in with me. Sorry I never posted sooner. Your advice was great and I managed to avoid going low after eating cereal and staying up and monitoring regularly. Thank you all for your help and support. I definitely needed it!!

Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. My team keep telling me they don't often see people like me so its nice to hear I am not the only one and it's interesting to hear that you still had another 5 years after your pregnancy. Hopefully my sugars will normalise again after this one...

Hi there! In 2015 in my first pregnancy I was diagnoses with gestational diabetes. As I didn't meet the standard criteria my wonderful diabetic consultant tested my gad antibodies and they were out of range. Post pregnancy my sugars normalised. I was followed up and my gad antibodies continued...

Thank you. My blood sugar is steady for the last 30 mins at 5.3 and I have taken your advice and have had a small bowl of granola. I will do my best to stay awake for a few more hours. Thank you and all the other posters so much for all of your help and support - it is very much appreciated...

Thank you. I think therefore that the 60 mls of lucozade I drank there and then would have been a fast hit and what i needed was a slower hit. I'll test again now and then try and eat a bit of cereal (I'm quite full from dinner) and then doze and get hubbie to stay awake and nudge me for...

10 weeks - hence I'm exhausted and usually asleep by 9.30 pm! So staying awake is going to be a massive struggle !!

Thank you - shall i have my low GI cereal or regular cereal which would be more carbs?

Thank you - I'm lactose intolerant so can't drink milk. I have unsweetened almond milk in cereal

Yes - aboout 20 mins later I took 10 units of Levomir. I am currently increasing it by 2 units every two days as my fasting sugars are above 5.3 (pregnancy range) and today is my first day of 10 units.

I took it just before 7.30 pm so its been two hours

I ate a meal of meat with brown basmati rice and veg Do you think I need to eat some cereal now? My blood sugar is 5.3 and has gone up from 4.9 30 mins ago.

Thank you. I took only about 60 mls of lucozade and then ate a meal of meat with brown basmati rice and veg - which was what I planned to eat (with 2 units of Levomir). My blood sugar has gone back up from 4.9 at its lowest about 30 mins ago to 5.3 now. Does that mean I am out of the woods? My...

Thank you. I don't count carbs. I just need to give 2 or 4 to allow me to eat a few more carbs as I was eating too few for my pregnancy. I will keep testing. If it stabilises then will I be ok to go to sleep? Would a hypo wake me up from my sleep? I've never had one. I only started the Novorapid...

I am new to diabetes and insulin and tonight I took 10 units of Novorapid (instead of Levomir) when I normally would have taken 2 units for the meal I had. I immediately realised so drank a little bit of lucozade and then ate my meal. I'm pregnant so test 1 hour after eating and my blood sugar...
