My first appointment with the diabetic nurse was quite positive I was told what my targets should be (under 5.6 fasting and no higher than 7.8 for after meals) great I thought after going a good couple weeks of having all my targets in range..Come to my second appointment this time with the dr who without explanation told me I was to go onto insulin as my morning readings were too high? (What? They’ve all been hitting my target) I asked because as far as I was concerned all was well, she mumbled something about it should be under 5.2 and I felt very rushed out of the room in shock! I feel so deflated now, my baby is measuring on the 10th centile (previous pregnancy’s were the same) so this isn’t a concern, but all I’m doing now is second guessing everything I’ve been told! My anxiety is sky high now, I’m scared of taking the insulin but also scared of not.. any advice is very much welcome x (Sorry for the long post)</blockquote>
