PLEASE READ!!!! this is freaking me out can anyone help??
Hello all, I am 37 weeks today, and was needing to ask about insulin requiremants.
thing is yesterday, I took my normal 46 us of lantus in the morning and had a bowl of cereal which i took 16 humalog for as my bm was on 2.9 before hand... anyway throught the course of the day I struggled to keep my bloods above 4. I even ate my tea which was pretty low in carb, without needing any insulin, I must of had 3 200ml glasses of lucozade by this point.
Eventually at 11 pm I decided to call for help from nhs 24.(realising that by this point I should of taken 68 us of humalog and had only taken 16) I got some help in the form of a phone call back from some out of hours gp who did not have a clue about pregnancy and type 1, and she decided to call a doctor from the maternity hospital who then phoned me.
She asked the routine questions ie did I feel generally well and was my baby having regular movements (which she was) she suggested I come in for overnight monitoring of my blood sugars but I said no and that I would call back at 7 am with the bloods I had taken up to then,
Afetr this call I decided to take some cereal without insulin and seen 8.9 on my meter within half an hour, I took some insulin and eventually after 2 hours my bm was sitting on 7.5 so I decided I was safe to sleep.
I sl[ept through the 7am call I was supposed to make, and was awoken by my obstetrician (??spelling) who must of got wind of my problems.
Anyway he was concerned that my insulin requrements were low but happy that my baby was moving etc my bm was 5 when he phoned.
Today has been ok ish, and bm been sitting around 6 all day, except for 5 mins ago when it crashed to 3.9.
I guess i want to know has anyone experienced this at this point in pregnancy? and if it can be anything to do with the stronger braxton hicks I have been having for a few days.. they are painful now and feel like period lower abdominal/back pain with sharp pains up in my hoohoo (sorry TMI) 🙄😱
Please reply someone....
