[QUOTE="Wooly123, post: 2474932, member: 536221"] Hi, I am now 10 weeks pregnant and to start with I was having multiple hypos all day and night. I had to cut down my insulin intake a lot and that worked well for the last couple of weeks. I’m now finding I have the opposite problem. Like you I’m spiking after every meal no matter what I eat. I’m seriously considering a diet of cucumber and lettuce to stop these spikes. My doctor says I’m not eating enough as I only have 3 meals per day with no snacks and I need more snacks and carbs throughout the day he says, but I’m reluctant to eat carbs/snacks when I spike all the time and I’m so worried about the baby. I have tried injecting 30 mins before eating too and this just makes glucose lower before eating but doesn’t stop the spike after. My dietician has suggested for larger carb meals (80g carb or more) I should split the dose, taking half dose before I eat and then the rest an hour later, but I hardly ever eat 80g carbs in one sitting so this only really works if getting a takeaway pizza. Maybe worth trying that if you haven’t already? I’m considering using the split dose method for much lower carbs to see what happens. I have a dietician appointment next week so hoping she will help me x [/QUOTE]
