not sure what to do

[talibrown24]

hello all....

its been awhile since my last post...blood sugars are doing MUCH better. all have been under 200 (my loose goal) for about a month now. well something new has cropped up into the scene. i think i may be pregnant. ive sort of excused the sypmtoms for a week now but when i look back and count the days, im about a week late and have EVERY symptom in the book except a positive home pregnancy test. also the past week or two my blood sugars have been wacky and i have been taking WAY more insulin then i ever thought i would need just to cover a meal. now i know things can happen like stress, illness, lots of things. i guess im a little nervous and excited and not quite sure what to do. should i call my dr tomorrow? wait a week? help please?!?!?

DID you take a home test? IF it is positive you should be seen right away to know what to do while pregnant. Good luck with everything.

You need to see your doctor asap.
It's really important to have the best possible control when pregnant.
You will need to increase your basal rate,as well as your bolus. It keeps increasing steadily throughout your prenancy. If you can get your dose right now, you may find that there is a regular amount you can increase it by For example 1 unit every 2 days(not necessarily that amount - just an example)

Have you taken a home test yet? By now it should work.

I am 11 weeks pregnant. You should call your doctor (OB and Endo) ASAP. I think they upped my lantus and my carb ratio the week I found out. In the first 10 weeks everything is developing and it is really important to have tight contol. (That said, don't freak out over the occasional high number...everyone has them) Tight control is important later too.

Are you taking a prenatal vitamin yet? Target has a good one.

Good luck! Please keep us posted!
