[QUOTE="ealingr, post: 1440430, member: 111571"] You're doing the right thing asking for advice, but I really do agree that calling 111 is the best thing to do now, rather than waiting until Tuesday to speak to your GP/doctor. The best thing you can do for you both is to get your sugar levels down as soon as possible. I have type 1 and I found my sugars went up in early pregnancy. If your sugars remain high for long you could be at risk of DKA - from the Diabetes UK [URL='https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Life-with-diabetes/Pregnancy/']website[/URL]: [I]For women with Type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes, it is extremely important to contact your diabetes team if your blood sugar levels remain high or you feel unwell. Your blood will be tested for ketones in order to rule out [URL='https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Complications/Diabetic_Ketoacidosis/']diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)[/URL]. [/I] I'm sure there is a lot going through your head just now, but there are really positive stories on here from women who had higher sugars at the start of their pregnancies, got them down and went on to have healthy babies.
