[QUOTE="azure, post: 960349, member: 39639"] Hi :) Congratulations on your pregnancy :) Pregnancy makes it hard to control your blood sugar. Many women find an insulin pump helps. I don't know if that's something that's available for you? It might be worth asking about. If you're having a hypo two hours after your meal that may suggest your bolus insulin (the fast acting insulin you had just before that meal) is too much for the amount of carbs you ate at that meal. If you go hypo at that same time every day, your insulin may need adjusting then so do speak to,your team. Also, hypos common in early orgnancy so make sure you test lots and have hypo treatments with you at all times. The high sugar when you wake could be because of your basal insulin (the long acting insulin) or it could be the Dawn Phenomen, when your blood sugar goes high as your body gets ready to wake up. I have that, but my insulin pump stops my blood sugar going high. Do you test in the night to see when it starts to go up? I understand why you're worried about your HbA1C but I'm sure you can get it lower. There are ladies here who started pregnancy with a high HbA1C but got it down and in the correct range. Do have a look around the forum and ask any questions you want :) [/QUOTE]
