Hi @Finley02 are you pumping? Have you tried insulin 20mins before meal and low GI diet?
I found I had to snack an hour or so after maybe 5-10cho to prevent hypos. I also tested half hour after meals a lot to see if I was on the right track. Your insulin requirements do go up. I was on about treble my pre pregnancy rate. Unfortunately testing lots was best for me xx
 
Ah @Finley02 I started to struggled around then too,
like @1Sarah1 has said injecting earlier does work wonders

My rates are way more now than what they used to be so testing and adjusting constantly - which I'm sure you are doing - is best. Xxx

Thanks girls... Ye really struggling at the Moment ... I'm not injecting 20 minutes before and have been told by my Dsn to do this but after injecting post meals for 17 years it's really hard to remember lol! Will definitely try my hardest to give it a go!

Just check my blood and I'm 4.3 lowest I've been all day! Will up my evening again tonight xx
