[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2109787, member: 503481"] Hello [USER=160151]@busydiabeticmum[/USER] Sorry I was just reading through it and I was wondering if you had any tests to indicate you're producing your own insulin, like a cpeptide test? Because if you are, then it's insulin resistance that needs solving and injecting more insulin can be seen as counterproductive. You seem a bit insulin resistant from what you have said so far, it could be your pregnancy making you that way and the hormones making your BG readings go haywire. As for low carbing you might need to speak with your team to adjust insulin for it, hypos can occur when there isn't enough carbs on board. Some T1s have experienced novorapid taking too long to kick in on their libre graphs so some have switched to a different bolus insulin called Fiasp - much faster and quicker than it's cousin novorapid. But I'm not too sure if fiasp will help in your case if you're insulin resistant. I was also wondering whether it is worth you getting a libre to see where needs adjusting. So you may have to ask your team about it. I wish you the best of luck and a healthy pregnancy journey. :) [/QUOTE]
