Appt #10 – Endo

· by · in

Off to see my favorite endo again today. Nothing spectacular to report, he was pleased with my numbers. Made some small changes to my basal rates and essentially gave me a pat on the back. I got my blood drawn and am anxiously awaiting my A1c result. Most things you’ll read about pregnancy and diabetes state that insulin needs increase as pregnancy progresses. So far I haven’t seen much of an increase. Here are my basal rates at start of preggo and then at 20 weeks:

4 week preggo

midnight – 6am : 0.45u

6am – 12noon : 1u

12noon – 7pm : 1.25u

7pm – 10pm : 1.35u

10pm – midnight : 0.9u

 

20 weeks

midnight – 6am : 0.575u

6am – 12 noon : 0.9u

12noon – 7pm : 1.25u

7pm – 10pm : 1.35u

10pm – midnight : 0.95u

 

Biggest change is in the overnight basal. Mostly because the OBs look at the fasting AM sugars over any other number. Before pregnancy I was fine waking up in the 110-130 range. But pregnancy they want AM fastings under 90 if at all possible.  So that’s where I had to make the biggest change. So far so good though.
