[QUOTE="ArtemisBow, post: 1240662, member: 115728"] Wasn't sure if this belongs in the pregnancy section or here, but this is life post baby so not pregnancy related. I was started on a pump in January this year when I was 3 months pregnant. As they don't advise fasting while pregnant I wasn't able to do proper basal tests, and just tried to make the best of it with very low carb meals for testing. Since baby arrived pump settings haven't been high on my priority list, but I'd like to try and get things back on track - at the moment I am having some odd hypos. The thing is I am breastfeeding, so am thinking that fasting probably isn't sensible at this time. I'm also not sure if that is what is causing the hypos, in which case changing basal rates may not help. Anyone been in the same situation? Any advice as to how I can check things without compromising baby's nutrition? [/QUOTE]
