I'm just over 8 weeks gone and in the past week have started to feel starving all the time. I've had no sickness yet-just feeling sick all day long! and am eating 3 substainal meals and getting my BG just about under control with increased insulin but just a bit concerned that if I eat as much as I want to that I'll mess up my pre & post meal targets? Anyone else hungry all the time? or have any tips on how to snack without messing up BG? At the mo I have oak cakes but stil find Im starving!
 
Yup, I was ravenous. It's a lot better now, at 14w, and I can go between meals without eating.

Protein's probably the way forward - keeps you feeling full and carb free. So things like meats, boiled eggs, cheese, some nuts, erm...veg sticks and hummus?

My thing was carbs, so I did just eat what I wanted and take insulin for it, but I'm T1 and always on insulin. Hope you can find some things that work, it's grim.
