| Can't respond to the "female" questions, but your new Endo may have felt you were having too many hypo episodes which might lead to hypo unawareness -- a dangerous situation, particularly for someone caring for a baby. An A1C IS just an "average" for 3 months, and it can be low because of too many hypo episodes, mixed with lots of hypers, and that is NOT good. I hope that wasn't your situation before present difficulties. I know that was ME. I am now trying harder to maintain "Normal" BGs that are neither High nor Low. My pump is helping me greatly in this endeavor. We ALL go through those "unfathomable" periods of unexplained highs and lows because there are just too many things that affect BGs. My suggestion is, don't WORRY about it; just Keep Trying, and you'll definately have more "stable" times that you can feel good about. Being a T1 for 2 yrs, your pancreas may well have stopped producing insulin; I'm not sure how long the "gestational diabetes" lasts. If so, I'm very sorry. But it's something we all (T1s) have to deal with, and I'm hoping for the best for you.  |
