[QUOTE="FingersCrossed, post: 1822188, member: 479877"] Hi kitedoc, Thanks very much for your reply. I got a bg of 7.5 before bed at 10.30pm last night due to all the correction doses. I tested at 1am and I was 11 so I took a 6 unit correction and increased my basal again and I was 7 this morning - at last! So I've gone from 1.9 units hourly to 3.8 or 4 in the space of a week - I expect this increase in trimesta three but not now. Very odd. I am testing for ketones which I don't have and am on vitamins and the diabetic-recommended folic acid dose. Also, it was mainly just yesterday I went carb free to try and spot any patterns etc as I have the same concerns and want to eat right to hopefully keep this pregnancy. (Bg levels were good last time I misscarried so I think that loss was chromosomal or age related maybe). You're right, I know I need to speak my diabetic nurse and hopefully get a blood test. She's on holiday at the moment and I'm waiting for someone to get back to me in next few days, which is why I reached out here to see if anyone else has been in the same boat. I'm thinking maybe it's due to infection; my body not responding to insulin as I'm much bigger than 5 years ago (serious action is needed after this pregnancy if it goes well, I know); multiple pregnancy; or something is wrong with pregnancy. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
