Hi Melissa:
Thanks for the welcome. When I was pregnant with my son 14 years ago (unexpectedly, with a GH of 11.7-- I call it Glycosolated Hemoglobin and we use the mml method of counting blood sugars and GHs in Canada), my insulin needs changed completely. I was lower than usual most of the time and could eat more on the same doses-- just went on the pump a month and a half ago, so multi-injections were the name of the game. I went to a high-risk unit for check-ups and adjustments on a regular basis and had what was considered good control during pregnancy. (I think that nowadays, I wouldn’t be considered to have had good control. Times change.)
My son was born healthy, although his BS was a little low and they had to give him glucose from forumula. Still, not bad for an unplanned pregnancy in the “olden” days.
I’ve been diabetic for 36 years. Started with one injection a day, mixing Toronto and Lente insulin. Over the years, progressed to 4 shots a day with Lantus and Humalog. Now on the pump with Humalog and thinking I was better off with Lantus. My blood sugars are more erratic now and I can’t always figure out why. At least on the injections I almost always knew why I was high or low. Often don’t have a clue with the pump. My pump instructor has made changes to ratios and sensitivity factors, but basal hasn’t changed. I’d like to experiment with that myself, but don’t know enough about it to do it. I’m on the Animas 2020. I like it, but the infusion sets can be a problem. The insets 1 and 2 are both annoying-- hit and miss-- but no one has ever shown me how the self-administered ones work.
Anyway, back to you. I think your person changed too many of your settings and . . . well, for no good reason that I can see. Were you having lows all the time from too high boluses? What was the reasoning behind it?
