Looking for a bit of help or guidance from anybody who has experienced similar. So I'm 19 weeks pregnant and was only diagnosed with type 1 a few weeks before I found out I was pregnant. I have been managing my sugars as well as possible apart from dealing with regular hypos. My dsn has been fantastic at helping me through everything.
However in the past week (not sure if Christmas is a coincidence) but I've been having awful highs after meals that are getting higher and lasting longer. My libre has been great and showing me what's going on. I've had to up my basal rate slightly again after speaking with my consultant and up my carb ratio.
Does anybody have any ideas how to stop these spikes from being so harsh? I've been bolusing 10-20 mins before meals and having protein etc with each meal. It's really worrying what it's doing to my bubba I am in regular contact with my diabetes team but it's nice to ask people who have been through this!
Thanks in advance!
