To echo Cleo, all pregnancies and diabetic ones are different. I never got insulin resistance at any point, mine was non stop hypos and practically no insulin at all.
Just try to relax as this stressing will not help. I was told that they would rather me have a few hypos and stayed under than 10, but if I was under 5 I would be sick, and wouldn't be able to stop. Hope your appointment helped.
How are you feeling now?

Hiya Pheobe,
Thanks for your message . I think it's tricky coz I was always told my levels would be low at the beginning so I panicked when it was the opposite but your right im going to stop stressing and just correct accordingly as and when. Next week may be a complete different story Haha!
Appointment was great thank you. Got to meet a lot of people and had all my bloods done etc and they also reassured me im doing a good job so feel much better .

You are doing a good job. even if you have a bad result, even a whole bad day its about overall so as long as its okay most of the time you will be okay.
And although I could never do it a second time, she was worth it and if i had to do it again for her I would in a heartbeat. Shes the best thing!
Take care xx

Hi I'm currently 17 weeks and 3 days now and at the start my Hba1C was 149. it's now down to 92 but I am noticing I'm feeling quite dizzy and disorientated recently even though my sugars are stable. my ratio for food is 2units for every 10g carbs and then my correction ratio is 1 unit for every three. It feels as though I am taking too much insulin sometimes for corrections and food. my base insulin is Degludec or Tresiba and my fast acting is Novo rapid. I'm just a bit worried about the amount I am taking I understand I have to increase my doses as my pregnancy goes on but I worry that I'll be taking too much and that LO blood glucose levels could cause problems with the baby in the long term.

Hi Alexandra,
If your levels have been high for too long, it will take a while to not feel hypo when at okay levels, its just as you adjust. After a few days of better levels it will go back to normal. If not speak to your team.
With corrections if I am worried it will be too much sometimes I will have 2 units then wait an hour and have another 2 if needed. Split out the 4 units over time.
Who told you that lows cause issues for baby? I was told the opposite, that highs are worse. I am not sure on this now. I was told hypos where find if I could handle them and better to hypo than be high.
Hope your okay x
