[QUOTE="sarahwdl, post: 386038, member: 64735"] I'm type 2 and pregnant and having a complete nightmare with my sugars. For the 1st 20 weeks I kept them under control by using metformin and just eating melon and yogurt for breakfast every day. The problem was I was having a hard time as I was feeling hungry within an hour of breakfast. At 20 weeks my DSN advised me to start novorapid only with breakfast and to have cereal. I was having either 2 shredded wheat, 2 weetabix or porridge every day with 10 units novorapid. It barely kept my sugars in range 1.5 hours after eating but within 3 hours I was having hypos of 2.5-2.9 and feeling terrible. I was advised to stop the novorapid and to start insulatard in the evening. This did the job most days but still occasionally I was high after breakfast despite eating the same every day! I've now been advised to take insulatard at night and novorapid with breakfast. I did this for the 1st time this morning and again it was high after breakfast at 8.0 but I had a hypo by lunch despite having 2 hobnobs between breakfast and lunch. I'm absolutely demented as I'm 23 weeks now and the baby is obviously coming up to growth spurts and I'm so scared that I'm doing it harm. My DSN is trying to be helpful but I feel like such a pest, she gave me her mobile number and I must text her at least twice a week to find out what to do. I can basically eat whatever the hell I like at lunch and teatime and my sugar is rarely over 6.5 then so I'm at a complete loss as to what to do with breakfast - if I go back to eating just fruit and yogurt I'll have wasted away by the time little pebble is born!!
