Early signs of pregnancy and BS levels

[faeriefi]

Hello All,

I know this has been touched on a bit in some of the other threads, but was hoping to get a better idea of everyone's experiences. I was just wondering if any of you noticed any patterns, highs or lows, or anything out of the ordinary with your BS levels alongside the other early signs of pregnancy. It's so difficult to find much detail on D and Pregnancy besides overviews and I was really curious about this.

Thanks for your input.

In my case, I didn't really notice that big of a difference at the initial stage. However, I did have some weird BG readings which went up to 20+ mmol/L after having something different than my normal diet (blame it on Chinese New Year). Those were easily corrected. I did up my basal 20% after ovulation, which I have always been doing since that period is when the progesterone hormone will mess around with the BG level.

So for me, didn't really notice anything significant in the BG level during early pregnancy.

Good luck!

All 3 pregnancies (I have 2 healthy daughters and miscarried a year ago) my biggest symptom was crazy constant lows. I was on a reduced insulin dosage and STILL having below 40 lows quite frequently. Before I was even one day late, I had a feeling cuz my bloods are never that constantly low.

Hi. It was my blood sugars that tipped-me off about the 2nd pregnancy! I was not trying to get pregnant, so I certainly was not paying much attention to my cycle. Plus, I was slacking-off with my health and control: I was 6 months post-partum from my first pregnancy, completely sleep deprived, and was sick to death of the 9 months of trying to maintain "perfect" blood sugar control.

One night I commented to my husband that my blood sugars were in really good control for the last few days, even though I wasn't paying any attention to my control. Then the lightbulb went off...it happened with my first pregnancy too. We bought a preg. test that night and, yep, I was preg. again.

I was wondering about the lows, before the first late date. I have three healthy children, and started having BAD lows from the first day I found out i was pregnant, sometimes registering as low as 22! This continued all the way through til the 2nd trimester.
We are trying to get pregnant again, and I wont be able to do a pregnancy test until next week, but for the last 5 days, i have been having CRAZY lows again, constantly, even waking me up in the middle of the night. I wondered if anyone else had these symptoms THIS early.....hope I'm pregnant again!
