[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 190317, member: 16982"] Hi Both one thing I will say to both of you, and not to worry you just to make you aware so you can (hopefully) learn from my experience, is be careful re weight gain/overinjecting insulin during your pregnancy. I am now 2.5 stone heavier than before I got pregnant and apart from the cosmetic angle, it has made my diabetes a lot worse as i am now much more insulin resistant than before. All throughout my pregnancy I was so focused on maintaining low blood sugars that I was constantly erring on the side of over injecting and then gettting into that spiral of eat-overinject-hypo-overtreat hypo and it lead to insulin resistance in my case. I was led to believe that once I'd delivered my (pregnancy related) insulin resistance would go away but it has not, nearly three months later (although its nowhere near as bad as when I was in my third trimester). At the time I just thought sod it, i'll gain weight and lose it after the baby is born, but its proving harder than anticipated, possibly due to the insulin resistance (also when you are looking after a baby everything else is harder!). So if you can manage to avoid that pitfall, (not saying this would happen to everyone btw) it will save a lot of hassle after the baby is born and you are trying to get things under control again. Good luck sounds like all is going well, can't wait to see the pics of your little ones after they are born! AC [/QUOTE]
