[QUOTE="ArtemisBow, post: 1052024, member: 115728"] Thanks all for your replies - my DSN and consultant said it would be ok to do some testing by either missing one meal in a day or eating a no carb meal like chicken or hard cheese (although I think these would still raise blood sugar, just not as much). I don't think you would normally basal test while pregnant, as ideally you would do this all BEFORE the pregnancy, but unfortunately that wasn't an option. I think for now the better option may be to do as you did azure and tweak basal or bolus based on time of day but keep eating, and just hang in there until the sensitivity comes down a bit. In theory that should happen across the second trimester. I will call my DSN today and check she is aligned with this. [/QUOTE]
