[QUOTE="AmandaD, post: 970181, member: 199116"] I'm Type 1 and have had two babies so know what you are going through with the sugars and worrying about babies size. As you progress in your pregnancy your insulin needs will get quite high. I found through out my pregnancies I could not eat bread, porridge was all I could have for breakfast without my sugars going mad. I also carb counted so I knew exactly how much insulin to take to keep them with in strict parameters. My carb ratios changed on a weekly basis for example for breakfast I went from 1 unit for 14g carb down to 1 unit for 1g. You have to be very strict with what you eat and test your blood sugars before and after meals so you can get a handle on what each food is doing to your blood sugar, its hard work but its worth it all in the end. I spent most of my pregnancies just above hypo level which is hard. My babies were 6lb 9 and 7lbs. [/QUOTE]
