Megan Ritter replied to Jen G's discussion 'If you are already insulin resistant?' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I'm so glad to hear about your carb ratios!! I'm in a similar boat and had an across the board 1:5 ratio before my pregnancy. I did have a 1:1 ratio by the third trimester. The biggest thing for me (and I was on a pump) was to start giving…"
Jen G replied to Jen G's discussion 'If you are already insulin resistant?' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Thanks. I have a Paradigm, so it's older. I want to see, since I'm on a new insurance plan, if they'll let me change to a more updated version. (Because I really should be on a 1:4.5 at lunch...) I know I can just do things manually,…"
Kristin replied to Jen G's discussion 'If you are already insulin resistant?' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I just checked and my Medtronic Veo pump allows 1:1 ratio (also can be increased by 0.1 units -- so 1:1.2, 1:1.3 is possible).
But I did what Lizzi suggested and actually just entered bolus amounts, as I was eating the same number of carbs each meal."
lizzistardust replied to Jen G's discussion 'If you are already insulin resistant?' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"You might run into a problem of an I:C you're not able to enter into your pump (mine, an animas ping, doesn't seem to go larger than 1:2). But it's NOT actually a problem mathematically. You could do the math yourself and then…"
Kristin replied to Jen G's discussion 'If you are already insulin resistant?' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Even if your insulin needs go up by 4 times, then you would use a 1:1 carb ratio (which I think is possible). Some of us give large boluses by injection during pregnancy as the absorption can be better. So that would be an option too.
I had to eat…"

If you are already insulin resistant?
Always hear stories about insulin resistance during pregnancy. Was curious if anyone was already pumping large doses of insulin before they became pregnant and what you did if "doubling" and "tripling" your carb ratios wasn't technologically possible. What did you do?My story: I'm TTC. Been working with my endo and CDE to get my sugars under better control so I can get the "green light" to drop off my pills. I'm at a 6.3% A1C, but a lot of those are lows. Over the course of about 2.5 months,…See More
Jen G replied to Katrina Schindler's discussion 'Recommendations for a Good Endo for Type I's in San Francisco?' in the group US - Northern California Diabetes"I used to see one in San Francisco when I was a child/in pediatrics.
Her name is Dr. Nancy Bohannon. Looks like she works at both St. Lukes and Sutter."

We want real food!
For all those diabetics who are tired of tasteless, drab and generally unappealing recipes aimed at us. I'm taking a stand--who wants to join me? Post your healthy, but TASTY recipes that you love!
Jen G replied to Dkinsey's discussion 'What should your A1C levels be when you are thinking of getting pregnant?' in the group Diabetes and Women"My hospital's norm is 5.6%, but accepts 6.0%. I just got mine down from 7.0 to 6.3 in two months. Lots and lots of testing and a number of nasty lows as side affects. But seeing a lot less numbers over 200, which is a nice change."
