Hi,
Getting really fed up now 😡 i'm still having high blood sugars and i'm talking up to 16.9mmol which is just ridiculous and dangerous being pregnant! This has all happened since I was told off for putting on a stone at an apponitment a couple of weeks ago and being told I'm giving myself 'way too much insulin'. They made me reduce my lantus from 42 units to 34 because they said that was way too much. But because i've had lots of high's they've steadily put it up again to 38 units which personally I still don't think is enough but who am I to know it's only my body after all.
My levels were near perfect before even though I had no ratio's to work with before. At my last appointment I hadn't put any more weight on and my husband asked what a normal amount of weight dose a pregnant woman put on and got a response of well as long as you don't put anything over 3 stone on then we don't really care about weight...? So why did they make such a huge fuss over a stone.
I've had weekly appointments since they told me to change everything and I've been emailing them every couple of days saying this isn't working I'm having to give myself correction doses practically after ever meal but they just keep chaning it slightly which has no affect really as far as I can see.
Anyway I'm just thinking that maybe I should disregard what they told me to do now and do what I think is best because I'm constantly tired because of the high's that i'm having and fed up of all the correction doses i'm having to do. Any thoughts would be helpful.
I just want to enjoy being pregnant and I'm not because I'm constantly worrying about high blood sugars.
