Hi, my name is Steph, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2001 and on the Basal Bolus and am now 8 weeks pregnant and my blood sugars have been out of whack the past few days and have been really low before breakfast for days and I don't know what to do... Ive been doing everything my diabetes nurse and midwife have told me to do and my bloods are still unsteady and im getting scared for my baby's health. What else can I do? Help

Hi Steph
The exact same thing happened to me and I had a scary few weeks. I'm now 17 weeks and seem to be holding steady.
What my DSN asked me to do was to keep a diary and gradually up my background insulin. Originally her plan was to change my insulin but I stood my ground. My morning background
It is scary especially when you know you are not just doing it for yourself.
Keep in contact with your nurse - even if it's a quick call to say "I've done XXXXXX and this is the outcome".
The other thing my nurse has said is that babies don't react to hypos.
Don't know if this will help or not
