[QUOTE="JC Durant, post: 2281302, member: 319268"] I read this with horror. Get yourself the Abbott Freestyle sensor as it is fast and painless and plots your readings My dosage changes a great deal and sometimes I need twice the short acting insulin and 50 per cent more long acting for the same carbs intake. No one knows why the requirement changes but it does in my case it settles back a few week later below my old levels and creeps back to old levels.Having a baby and looking after him will make it a lot more complex. It is frustrating but the Abbot sensor will change by our life rather than strips I promise and enable to worry more about your baby than your self .I have no idea why as a type 1 you are not given a sensor especially being a new mum and restricting strips is nuts. I have had to be forthright with my doctor to get it prescribed but there is no reason not to give it u.I am old and my children adult but I do test sometimes 50 times a day and my HB1c is 5.8 Sure I get over frustrated and worried like you. Those are good live saving emotions. All best [/QUOTE]
