Morning Everyone,

Please bare with me this is the first time I have done something like this...

I am currently pregnant with my second baby. My first is 6 already. Although I do not remember pregnancy and controlling sugar levels to be this hard with my first.

I am struggling to keep a continuous range on a daily basis. I am exhausted ALL the time and functioning for work is becoming impossible!!

Am I the only one? Does anyone have any tips? I see a diabetic team at my local hospital, and they make lots of suggestions, but day to day life is just not that easy.

I am properly one of these over thinkers and I'm sure baby is fine, she is very active but I'm just exhausted with worry.

Look forward to hearing from you :)

Hi @Emma87H I think worry is natural for every pregnant lady and diabetes just adds to it.

Insulin resistance is probably starting to kick in for you now so that can make control harder. How are your blood sugars?

I got tired during pregnancy and tried to get as much rest as possible - not easy, I know!
