Hi everyone. My story is this. I was 19 weeks pregnant when tested for GD. Came back on the Thursday I was. Friday I saw nurse for tablets etc.Saturday I was admitted to Hospital for treatment as had +2 keytones.Started sliding scale.On sunday I was stable so a Senior Nurse (plus another) came to administer my 1st insulin shot whilst I waited to learn how to use a pen the following day.Instead of 10units being administered in a vial I received 100.Within 10 mins I was in HDU.My baby and I came out of it all unscathed and my little boy is 5 weeks old.My problem is in pregnancy I was diagnosed as Type 1 and handled it all well.My readings never went above 6.5 and I felt confident.But since having him I feel like its all new to me.I now test before meals not after.I dont feel I know what I am really doing all of a sudden.That this is really my life now injecting 4x a day etc.I dont see Diabetic team until April.My BS readings averaging 5.5 to 6.4 is this good? Its all so different as had so much help when pregnant and now nothing until April!x
