[QUOTE="azure, post: 1342440, member: 39639"] Great that you have a Dexcom! You're wise to be cautious about going too low. Perhaps consider a slight increase to,your ratio then? Again - I don't remember the timing exactly, but by the end of pregnancy my ratios had changed hugely. Eg for my breakfast, I went from 7 units to 19 units for the same breakfast! I increased my ratios very cautiously if I found that I was consistently going high. I found eating the same meal a few times in a row (that is, same evening meal for 3 days,,etc) helped get my boluses right. I increased them in tiny amounts because I didn't want to go low, and keeping to the same meal helped remove one variable and made me more confident in making adjustments because I could see how my changes worked the day before.
