[QUOTE="busydiabeticmum, post: 2102137, member: 160151"] Yes, baby no.7 was ketosis pregnancy, all my other babies I ended up on high levels of insulin and no control of dgl despite following their diet... changed hospitals to luton and dunstable who follow the low carb program and I had excellent bg control and needed NO medication. Baby was delivered healthy and fine, was induced at 38wks but not because of bgl but because he was smaller than all my others and had "too much room", wouldn't stay head down and wouldn't stop wiggling... other than that diabetes wasn't a problem. Back at original hospital as l&d hospital was too far... being given a high cars diet to follow and I can see my bgl rising (pregnant with baby no.8 lol) I will be going back to low carb and stuff them and their "healthy living plate" which doesn't help... also when I tried to explain to the diabetes midwife how it went last pregnancy she was condescending saying "babies don't like the acid environment that ketosis makes." Yeah well you don't like the glucose environment your diet gives me either... last baby was fine and is now huge (not fat but very tall and we'll built) bless him which is completely different to all my other kids... hah doubt they will ever listen though.
