[QUOTE="josie38, post: 195506, member: 27179"] Hi jessie, congrats!!!! When i had my two children ( 5 and 3) I had low sugars and lots of tuts during 1st trimester but as pregnancy went on it did settle down. My hba1c was 5.5% all the way through first pregnancy, with second pregnancy it was 6.5%. My insulin doses didn't really go up a lot. By the end of the pregnancy i was only on 20 units more then before i got pregnant. With my second one in the 3rd month i had a severe hypo in the night which left me unconcious but paramedics brought me round with a hypokit (injection of glucagon) and 2 days later had to see ante natal/diab consultant and had severe hypo in her room. So had to start goin every week for checks but after 2 months they put me back on fornightly checks. You have to remember that you are sustaining two people with your insulin and food. The baby is using some of ur energy so u can run out which will induce a hypo. (Hope it makes sense but i think its about the biology between you and your growing baby). Hope everything goes ok :) :) :) Josie [/QUOTE]
