Hi Everyone

When women where pregnant how many blood test strips did you use on average in the preconception stage, when pregnant, straight after the pregnancy and when you weren't pregnant.

I'm currently using approx. about 8 per day. It's 10 weeks since I've given birth.

Thanks 🙂🙂
 
Hi
I was testing at least 8 times per day pre conception and during pregnancy. A couple of weeks after having baby I returned to normal regime of testing before meals/injections. so 4 times per day. Obviously checking extra if feeling unwell or hypo. My little girl is 10 months.

Preconception - probably around 6 per day
Pregnancy - 10 - 14 times a day (no typos !)
Post pregnancy - 4 times daily and obv if feeling hypo etc
My LO is almost 6 months
