Hi Jenny,
Sorry about that. Didn’t mean to step on anyone’s toes about the pregnancy thing. I was more addressing the idea of tight control of your blood sugars.
I guess I never really thought about being pregnant and type1. Thanks for the info, I’ll try to think out my posts a little better in the future.
Why do you become more insulin resistant when your pregnant? I definitely know about the throwing up since my wife had our daughter. I know it can “come up” when you least expect it.

Typical male 
Actually, I must admit that I never thought much about it until recently either. As a male, my T1 wasn’t an issue for the pregnancy or birth of our children. But having read of the difficulties of a few female T1’s and pregnancy I now have much more empathy for the females who have to endure T1 and want children.
For anyone interested in BGs and IR during pregnancy, Kelsey Bonilla, a type 1, is blogging on her first pregnancy, week by week. The latest installment is here

You can go back and read about her experiences from the very early stages. She was surprised by how much her insulin:carb ratio changed as the pregnancy progressed.
Im taking these pills my mom got me from a natural path and i barley need any insulin anymore unless i go on a binge and eat to much sugar.
So i guess i could say iv weaned myself off insulin too!
I think I have one of those odd ball ones. My c-peptide shows insulin production, no insulin antibodies found. Metformin doesn’t work for me. My BG goes up above 250 if I don’t inject a quick acting insulin before meals. My doctor says if the insulin is controlling the BG, then keep doing it.
It’s common for a Type-1 to require very little insulin at first, especially if it’s caught early. And once on insulin, they’ll often see an initial drop in requirements once the BG is under better control. I started out at just 10 units a day, and dropped that to only 6 (some very active days I didn’t need any) after six months. This is known as the honeymoon period. Sadly, it doesn’t last. Your body is still able to produce some insulin and that’s why you’re able to get by on a small amount. You should expect to see your dosage requirements go up in the next few years. Enjoy the honeymoon period while you can.
yeah sounds like honeymoon (sorry!)
