I’m 5.5 weeks pregnant and have no idea what to expect. For about a week my insulin needs intensified but now I’m noticing I need to reduce my basal to lower than pre pregnancy levels. I woke up with a 65 angle arrow down this morning on my CGM! What’s going on? I thought my needs are suppose to increase not decrease.
Also, what has been your experiences first trimester?
Thanks for listening 
Congrats on your pregnancy!
I’ve found that in the first trimester my needs were kind of all over the place - pay close attention and keep on it! I had days where I went low and days where I went very high - from what I gather, this is normal… hormones can do some crazy things. It wasn’t until the second trimester that I found a consistent need to increase.
I just posted some blog recommendations on another post:
