[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 207183, member: 16982"] Hi Jessie glad things are going ok, I think there is so much emphasis on getting the post meal readings low(I was told 7 not 7.8 as my consultant extra strict - this was told to all pregnant diabetics not just me!) that it becomes really hard to avoid hypos. I was going hypo several times a day towards the end like you thought it was only the highs that affected baby so interested that you were told lows can affect baby too (although having said that my little one is fine now and seems to be developing ok! ) I think a lot is down to luck and there is a lot the medics don't know. I know it's scary but you have to just do your best and hope all will be well. Easier said than done though? How is your hypo awareness, be careful of that, due to having so many hypos mine went right down so I did not feel hypo until the low 2s (not good if still driving) Anyway sounds like you are coping well atm. I found my blood sugar tended to go lower than normal up to about 20 weeks when the insulin resistance began and then until the end I needed more and more insulin, but the more I injected the higher the chance of miscalculating the dose so the greater the chance of a hypo. As someone else said though everyonen is different [/QUOTE]
