[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1945059, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=63038]@Lucielu[/USER] Sorry i'm slightly confused as to why they suggested not trying basal testing when you are quite clearly having issues - as long as you carb count and take quick acting insulin then doing some fasting tests and missing one meal at a time this should not do you any harm, it's more risky to be yo-yo ing with your control then missing a meal, can you check with your DSN instead ? It's also less risky than changing your basal insulin which can take a few weeks to settle down. Ring your DSN and check with them instead, I suspect that they were assuming you would be eliminating a day's worth of meals when you can simply omit one meal at a time to review your basal rates, it's the only solution I can think of in your situation to check, also ask for a continuous glucose monitor if you don't already have one, this would also help to see patterns etc, so libre sensor, you should get access as your pregnant. A pump would of been an easier solution but again as your already pregnant it's not wise to be making the leap now but certainly something to think about afterwards. [/QUOTE]
