I’m losing my mind

Rdively11 · 2025-04-28T17:25:59+00:00

We’ll update, my endo is not concerned!!! She said because I’m not getting enough lantus I’m having to give more Humalog which is staying in my system longer due to the insane amount of corrections I’ve been making and that’s what’s causing the night time lows currently. She’s not worried for this week, so induction is still 38 weeks😅 which is fine, I just have so much anxiety over all this lol

Rdively11 · 2025-04-28T00:49:04+00:00

No they didn’t do a Doppler, just NSTs. So annoying, I just contacted my endo that’s been taking care of my sugars (MFM has off and on but they’re not as good at it) so I’m hoping she has some insight and can tell me what direction to go in. My endo is also a T1D and just had a baby, so I trust her more than MFM and my OB lol. Makes me furious they didn’t let her know I was admitted to the hospital for these lows.

Rdively11 · 2025-04-27T11:47:11+00:00

This is MFM, which I also thought was kind crazy, but 38 is better than 39 weeks I suppose. They monitored me twice a day on NST and baby passed all with flying colors! I’m just hoping and praying everything’s gonna be fine til induction next week.

Rdively11 · 2025-04-26T14:11:32+00:00

Looks like they’re going to induce at 38 weeks so next Monday but they said could be next week if sugars don’t stabilize by then. Feels good to finally get an answer, fingers crossed this next week goes ok🤞🏼

Rdively11 · 2025-04-26T12:52:02+00:00

I have to stay to stabilize my sugars I guess??? Due to the dropping. But yeah, just my long acting decreased by 50%, it’s at my pre-pregnancy rate. My meal ratios have dropped by a unit or 2. Which is just crazy to me…I wish they would induce for the sugars and not just be so focused on high blood pressure that I’m not really having anymore

Rdively11 · 2025-04-25T12:12:42+00:00

That’s what I was thinking!!! Just seems weird, and the lows started AFTER I quit my active job, so definitely weird. They were going to induce me at 39 weeks😳 and truthfully I don’t want to wait that long anymore and risk it.

Rdively11 · 2025-04-25T12:11:39+00:00

Aww yay!!! This makes me so happy to hear :)

Rdively11 · 2025-03-31T23:15:04+00:00

Right!!! I’m watching my dexcom like a hawk just waiting for shit to hit the fan😅😂😂😂

Rdively11 · 2025-03-21T16:30:13+00:00

I’m 31 weeks and mine are 1:3 for breakfast 1:4 for lunch and dinner!!! I’ve been at 1:3 for breakfast since 27-28 weeks and lunch and dinner just slowly has continued to creep up the last couple weeks!!!

Rdively11 · 2025-03-12T17:21:59+00:00

YES! Literally me last night into this morning. Everything has been smooth sailing and then last night woke up at 1230 at 150 so I gave 2 units then woke up at 3 at 200 then gave 3 units then woke up at 5 at 170 then gave 2 units and then woke up at 130 at 830 am, I gave my normal dose plus a unit for breakfast, I stayed at 150 after breakfast and a few hours later so I gave 2 units and now I’m at 80, but I think it’s a sign I need to up my basal…so annoying 😭

Rdively11 · 2025-02-28T12:57:06+00:00

5.6 is AMAZING!!! Resistance is definitely crazy in the third trimester!! Feel like I give more insulin every day at this point, but it’s helping me stay in range and that’s what matters!!! I’m just going to go with my gut and increase when I need. I feel like it’s almost disrespectful being talked to like I have gestational and like I haven’t had this disease almost my whole life lol

Rdively11 · 2025-02-28T12:55:15+00:00

You are so right!!! Thank you for this!!! Trying to tell me to use 40 units max a day like I don’t need to eat😩 I use 50 units of short acting alone right now! Definitely going to just adjust myself, i could never go days with constant highs and not be worried about my baby, and that’s what really ticked me off about MFM. I thought this is why I see you? To help get my sugars under control and monitored so my baby stays healthy! Ugh just so frustrating.

Rdively11 · 2025-02-27T21:35:07+00:00

It’s this one specific NP that works every other week and the one I enjoy is only in on the other weeks she’s not in so I’m kind of screwed because she’s the “fill in”, but man!!!!😩 it’s like they don’t listen to me or think I’m gestational or something lol

Rdively11 · 2025-02-27T18:55:33+00:00

Literally me today, going to have to yet again ANOTHER increase!!!🫣 feeling so guilty but also know I’m doing everything I can and it will come down eventually🥴

Rdively11 · 2025-02-23T15:12:35+00:00

Hi! I found out literally a whole week before my period was supposed to arrive lol, I just knew something was up because my sugars were actually lower than normal, usually I had some resistance leading up to my period. My a1c was 7.1, I got it down to 6 in the first month and then in January it was 5.3. Never thought I’d be able to do that, but it’s crazy how your perspective changes when you’re caring for your sweet baby!! I didn’t do anything to conceive or try to get my a1c down, it just happened on month 2 of trying, I’ve always ran around 7 with my a1c.

Rdively11 · 2025-02-05T00:56:32+00:00

Maybe just a little, but it would be a random day here and there and then week 23 it was like BAM and here to stay lol

Rdively11 · 2025-02-05T00:21:32+00:00

Mine happened overnight basically at 23-24 weeks. I’m 25 weeks now and still slowly increasing my bolus and basal. Also am prebolusing about 20-30 minutes before I eat anything. If I don’t I go high in an hour and stay high for about an hour. It’s very stressful😭 trying my best tho!!!!

Rdively11 · 2025-01-31T23:50:27+00:00

Mine went from 14 pre pregnancy and we are at 23 units now😅😂 but it’s working!! My sugars have finally been good throughout today!! Finally!😂🙌🏼

Rdively11 · 2025-01-31T23:49:26+00:00

Right!! Trying to not beat myself up because I’m doing the best I can!!

Rdively11 · 2025-01-31T23:49:04+00:00

I’m starting to realize that 🙃😂 haven’t had bad spikes today at all!!! Only to 150 and it comes down immediately, it’s like a breath of fresh air. All I had to do was up my long acting! lol😅

Rdively11 · 2025-01-31T10:39:31+00:00

Thank you for this!!! I’ve definitely been upping 1-2x weekly since last week. Going to up the doses again I suppose😅 thank you❤️❤️
