    I beat type 2 now I’m pregnant my sugars are rising.

    You see I was diagnosed type 2 diabetic as my HBA1C was diabetic range not gestational or pre diabetic. I worked sooo hard with insulin and diet and lost 20kg and dropped my HBA1C however the nurses seem confused too why I wasn’t taken of insulin strait away. (I was kinda forgotten about). But...

    I beat type 2 now I’m pregnant my sugars are rising.

    Random low sugar

    Hey , That could have very much been a possibility , maybe I just didn’t realise as I injected in a new area closer too my muscle (I’m a bigger girl so didn’t realise) , I do prefer to eat mars bars , they bring my sugars up and I find that if I have faster forms of sugar they spike it then drop...

    Random low sugar

    Hello , so I was wondering if anyone could guide me on what I need too do as something very much scared me last night. I took my semglee 24 hour insulin as I do every night at 10pm, I’ve reduced by 4 units due too my sugars dropping lower than I wanted before meals. This rectified the problem...
