[QUOTE="myarnton1, post: 1019653, member: 213685"] Hi, not really sure about the HbA1c. It took me a just under a year to get my HbA1c down from 8.7% to 6.7% but I think everyone is different. However I I've had times where my HbA1c has dropped quite a bit in the space of 3 months. As for the highs in the afternoon.. Do you use the same ratios on mdi throughout the day or do they vary with each meal? I am on the pump now, but when I was on mdi, like you I was experiencing high b/s levels in the afternoon so my ratio for my lunch meal would have been 1unit to 7g carbs rather than my 1unit to 8g carbs for every other meal. (Assuming you are carb counting?:p) As the pregnancy progresses your insulin to carb ratio will increase so that could be a plan of action to speak to your DSN about (that's if you are not already doing this). All the best and congrats on the pregnancy [/QUOTE]
