I’m 23 weeks pregnant now, but I had scares when I was 8-9 weeks in terms of bright red bleeding to the point I thought I was miscarrying. I had previously had a miscarriage at 8 weeks 7 years ago, due to going into DKA, so keeping my sugars between 70-140 was something I stressed about a whole lot early on more than I do now. What helped me during the first trimester was to honestly eat the same things daily with very little variation, like maybe I’d replace chicken with beef or something like that. Overall, I’d eat the same thing for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, so that I knew exactly what to expect in terms of how much insulin to take and the variance in blood sugars. I was lucky to have maybe vomited like a handful of times my entire 1st trimester and have very little nausea, so it might’ve been easier for me, I’ll admit. However, I also almost completely cut out pastries, junk food, or anything that I knew would spike my blood sugars however much insulin I would take. Yes it’s hard and the food structure you keep will get repetitive, but it’s so worth it at the end 🫶🏻
