[QUOTE="azure, post: 1240801, member: 39639"] Lucozade is better to get that whack of glucose in there and working, I've found. I only used it in this last pregnancy (I have 3 children) and the difference was noticeable. Much quicker and easier due to its concentration and swiggability : D I've ben trying to remember the changes I made to my ratios in the early months. I can't remember exactly what I did and when, but once I'd got settled, I reduced my basal gradually as above with some quite big changes for certain times of the day, and then I made a minor change to my breakfast ratio and bgger changes to my lunch and evening meal ones. I simplified things by eating the same meal for lunch when I was changing that one. I went from 1:8g to 1:10 for lunch, and a similar change to my evening meal. I also ran slightly higher than normal to give myself a bit of a cushion. Not a lot, but just a little bit. That helped too. Another tip is to wear something with pockets every day and make sure you have glucose tablets in those pockets for when you're on the move about the house or suddenly think you might be dropping.
