[QUOTE="Chloelox, post: 2355858, member: 518087"] Me personally found keeping a level between 5-7mmol extremely hard, I achieved it in pregnancy for my baby’s sake, but my god. I was having 4-5 hypos a day and felt dreadful for 6 months. In the end I lost my hypo awareness and was once sat in diabetic clinic after bloods and a nurse rushed over to me with a glucose drink telling me to drink quickly. I had absolutely no symptoms at a BS of 2.2. Aslong as your fasting rate is between 5-7mmol then I personally wouldn’t worry too much about the odd high. I really would rather a spike than I would a low. If you are truly hellbent on keeping levels really low, during pregnancy I would check levels more and as soon as my libre hit 4.7 with a downwards arrow i would put in 100ml Pepsi to avoid the low. Then check again 15 mins later to check the hypo was treated and 15 minutes after that to be double sure. [/QUOTE]
