Message: <blockquote data-quote="catapillar" data-source="post: 1690551" data-attributes="member: 32394">Target blood sugars in pregnancy are much tighter:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><5.3 fasting</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><7.8 1 hr post prandial</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><6.4 2hr post prandial</li> </ul>because high blood sugars can cause foetal abnormalities and miscarriage. So if you're trying to conceive you'd be well placed to try and stop spending the evening in double figure, cos it'll be easier to try and solve it now than when pregnant with all the hormones over complicating things.If you're struggling with with highs in the evening have you considered basal testing to see if you need to up your am lantus dose - <a href="https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/" target="_blank">https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/</a>Ladies with type 1 trying to conceive are advised to have hba1c under 48. Making sure your basal dose is working well for you is probably a good first step in improving hba1c because once you know that's keeping you flat-ish it's much easier to tweak I:C ratios.Have you got a half unit pen? Is the metformin for PCOS, which you now apparently don't have, or is it for insulin resistance? Your TDD doesn't particularly suggest insulin resistance.Do push your DSN for pump and libre if you can. They've changed their mind doesn't really seem good enough. Input diabetes might be worth a look if you're stuggling to get access to a pump you want, might just give you some tips on things to discuss with the DSN to push towards a pump - <a href="http://www.inputdiabetes.org.uk" target="_blank">http://www.inputdiabetes.org.uk</a></blockquote>
