[QUOTE="azure, post: 1005040, member: 39639"] Your GP surgery sounds well-staffed for diabetes. :) Yes, staying in range as much as possible is crucial, but don't panic if you get a few highs. It's pretty much impossible to be,perfect all the time, especially later in pregnancy when insulin resistance increases greatly. Early on, you may have unexpected hypos, so watch out for those and keep hypo treatments nearby. Test, test and test - that's the key :) I'm on a pump ( I was before pregnancy too) and it does make adjustments easier, I think. My basal insulin almost tripled by the end of pregnancy! Early on though, you may even have to reduce your basal if you're having lots of hypos. Most importantly, enjoy your pregnancy :) [/QUOTE]
