[QUOTE="SMarks1984, post: 467512, member: 91756"] Hi Moaney, not sure I can be of much reassurance, but in my experience, you can pretty much expect your sugar levels to be quite erratic throughout your pregnancy. For me, my sugars were pretty high at the beginning of pregnancy, stabilised during the middle and then I seemed to need less insulin in the last few weeks so you'll find your diabetes team advising you to adjust your insulin throughout. It's probably not the case that they're not bothered but see this all the time with type 1 pregnancies. Bare with what they are saying but if you feel you need more insulin then maybe adjust by 1 or 2 units? I used to have to test 1 hour after my meals and I was always in double figures, yet I managed to get my Hba1c down to 5.8 during my pregnancy at one stage so their advice must have been right. Easier said then done but try not to worry too much - I'm sure you and your baby will be fine :-) xxx Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
