Topic: Questions for HCPs / Blood Glucose range whilst pregnant

Hello

I needed my before bed blood sugar to be around 10 when I was pregnant as it always seemed to drop overnight. Adjusting bi did not stop this. Always had good hba1c (around 6) in both pregnancies but 1st born at 36 weeks (8lb 13oz) and 2nd at 35 weeks (9lb 4oz). Both planned c section due to failing placenta. So infact my insulin requirements dropped in last trimester instead of going up and this was a sign that my placenta was failing.

Topic: General Discussion / How can you work out HBA1c by using your BG averages? Is it possible?

I have heard you can calculate what your HBA1c could be by using a certain formula to calculate it. Any ideas people? Since i have been on DAFNE my BG have been well managed, and always within range, before i had done DAFNE my HBA1c was 11 Sad

i am hoping this time round it has improved Smile

Topic: Carbohydrate Counting / Jacket Potato

Fat does slow the absorption of the carbs............

I think the main point I would highlight with different types of starchy carbs and high fat content meals is that its the digestion that is effected, so in theory your insulin/carb ratio should never change, as you will always need the same amount of insulin per 10 grams for that time of day...............its the timing of the dose that is critical when trying to combat slowed or quickly absorbed foods......

Also you're eating it with fat which slows absorption doesn't it?

For all types of cooked potatoes I use different amounts and ratios. For fries and mash I need a lot more than I do for baked. I used to have the hypo problem with jackets when going by the book. I had to figure out my own levels on potatoes.

A pump would be far better, but the majority of consultants will only put you forward after all other strategy's have been tested, however it has been known for some patients to get a pump with reasonable ease.......

Brilliant, it works! Thanks very much.

(it was all made a bit more complicated by the fact that the readings were on my partner's iphone which is easier for me to use when we're out and about and away from the computer)

The upload is kicked off when you save an entry - so try going into one of your entries, making a change then saving it and see if that helps.
