[QUOTE="Loulou52, post: 1247976, member: 248258"] Had ds2 seven weeks ago. On pump and used the freestyle libre alongside blood testing. Was a totally different experience to being on a sliding scale as I was four years ago for ds1. DH scanned the libre every 10-20mins during active labour. I instructed action based on results used in tandem with blood glucose. suspended insulin a couple of times (long labour) but was a good distraction and I avoided hypoglycemia or readings above 7.5. My consultant had put instructions in for the midwife which basically said let me do controlling of diabetes unless BG won't come down and are over 7.5, 3 times in a 3 hour period. If BGs don't come up give glucose drip. Such a positive experience in the context of the diabetes and allowed for DH to feel properly involved. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
