[QUOTE="s230787, post: 448734, member: 40203"] Hello, I'm type 1 currently 26 weeks and its so difficult knowing what's what when it comes to keeping yourself and baby healthy. I was told to keep readings below 7.8 1 hour after eating. My sugars average between 4-6 and I've been told baby is currently just under the average size for a baby at this stage in pregnancy and that I am doing very well. (I hope Baby stays average too for when it gets round to delivery, plus my family seen to have circa 6lb'ers). I was told that running blood sugars too low are not really beneficial to anyone and are actually more of a hazard due to hypos (driving, risk of falling over etc) - but I have heard some people say their doc wants them to run at 3-4mmol all the time??! Sounds like you are doing great at the moment but don't be surprised if your requirements go up, I'm now on metformin as well as insulin due to requiring 140ish rapid and 40 lantus units a day!! Are you taking the higher dose of folic acid? Make sure you ask about aspirin at 12 weeks too for pre eclampsia as I wasn't told I needed it until 17 weeks :( Keep up the good work and enjoy your little bump, soon enough you'll be enjoying waddling around like me haha Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
