[QUOTE="Lucie75, post: 193163, member: 23580"] Hormones!!! They seem to have a hand in everything, especially when pregnant. Are you eating differently or do you still have morning sickness or anything like that? Remember your body is working really hard in the early stages of pregnancy developing the foetus so this may be using up more glucose. It is as your pregnancy continues into the 2nd and 3rd trimester that your insulin needs will increase dramatically, again caused by your hormones. Are you attending a diabetic ante natal regularly - they should be able to advise you what you need to do. It's not as easy as just reducing your insulin when pregnant as you don't want to raise your bg by too much. Being low is better for baby, although it's pretty miserable for you. Watch out for loss of hypo warnings as this is common in pregnancy (I myself passed out while pregnant while I was also looking after my then 2 year old son). Good luck! [/QUOTE]
