[QUOTE="SallyEzra, post: 1778248, member: 473136"] [FONT=Arial]I can’t tell you how good it is to read all your posts on here. So reassuring. When I had my son 3yrs ago, I was prepped for my blood sugar rising & increased insulin requirements - it never did, in fact my insulin requirements steadily slid backwards throughout the entire pregnancy until he was delivered at 35wks. I am currently 19 wks pregnant & exactly the same thing has happened again & my current basal rate is about a third of what I normally take outside of pregnancy & due to increased hypos, I am having to review my pump basal rate downwards every 5-6 days. Like you say, it involves a lot more scans when this happens because it doesn’t make sense under current understandings of pregnancy & Diabetes. But I am so glad that our medical teams perform those extra checks, just to be sure. It sounds like you have an exciting time ahead of you Tweety88- wishing you all the very best. And I completely agree with Scarlet10- best to get the baby out when the medical teams are not too sure exactly what is going on....this was the reason they decided to deliver my son & I was so grateful to see him safely in the care of the SCBU & no longer having to wonder about what effect my plummeting blood sugars were having on him. Will keep an eye out for your updates.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
