[QUOTE="azure, post: 1248639, member: 39639"] [USER=89325]@-Artemis-[/USER] The pregnancy hormones can slow digestion. Excuse this rubbishy non-scientific explanation, but they relax the muscles in the body. This includes the digestive system. So, although it can be a nuisance, it shows your body is making the right hormones :) If you're going low then high (low but not hypo) that might be something to do with it, but it could be that your insulin needs are reducing a little further. For me, I changed from after breakfast being my highest BS time pre-pregnancy to sitting at work cramming my face with sweets and eating snacks without a bolus in order to keep my sugar up. It was like I'd suddenly been cured! Really weird. The evening meal could be your 'special time' for hypos. Pregnancy hypos are very different from normal hypos. They can make no sense and it really is like not being diabetic sometimes. [/QUOTE]
