yotita replied to Devon Inglee's discussion 'Possible Minimed malfunction/bad site lead to my DKA this weekend?'"Yeap, that sounds sooo familiar to me....
I have a MM pump too, I use Quicksets, and a few months ago I experienced the same thing twice! I changed my site before dinner, gave myself one whole extra unit, cuz I tend to run a bit high after site…"
yotita replied to Sharon Fung's discussion 'Natural Birth, Big Baby and Diabetes' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Hi, Sharon!
I just wanted to tell you that I have been thinking (and worrying) about the baby's size since the day I found out I was pregnant. I am currently 32 weeks and the baby's size looks normal on the ultrasound. However, I…"
yotita replied to Desdemona's discussion 'Baby Amelia has arrived!' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Congrats! She is perfect!
I'm so happy for you!! It's good to know that this hard journey called pregnancy with diabetes has ended well for both of you!
I'm 29 wks and I seriously can't wait to be in your shoes!"
MelissaBL replied to yotita's discussion 'Freakishly low BGs every single morning,now 15wks pregnant' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I found in my first pregnancy that I would wake up around 60 and start to rise with my morning coffee and morning hormones. By breakfast, without treating, I'd be around 90, so I just let it be. But no, you're not crazy."
yotita replied to yotita's discussion 'Freakishly low BGs every single morning,now 15wks pregnant' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Thank you, Desdemona!
I was starting to feel like a freak... No one seemed to have experienced something similar... I'll try the protein snack before bed... I wish the same happened to me throughout the day too...Now, THAT would be a cure :)"
Sharon Fung replied to yotita's discussion 'Freakishly low BGs every single morning,now 15wks pregnant' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"What Desdemona says. The lows are weird, the whole body is weird while pregnant :) It is nice to have to deal with lows better than highs though, I think. I'm kind of dreading the insulin resistance. I'm hoping to be like Desdemona and…"
Desdemona replied to yotita's discussion 'Freakishly low BGs every single morning,now 15wks pregnant' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I suffered the same issue but for weeks upon weeks. All the way to week 21.
My lows would start around 5am and what worked for me, (outside of drinking a Litre of orange juice through-out the night and constantly scaling back on my basals), was to…"
yotita replied to yotita's discussion 'Freakishly low BGs every single morning,now 15wks pregnant' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Thanks for the reply!
I actually did not have to make a lot of adjustments to my basals up until recently. I guess I should be thankful the insulin resistance hasn't reared its ugly head yet...I'm surprised though, because normally the…"
Sharon Fung replied to yotita's discussion 'Freakishly low BGs every single morning,now 15wks pregnant' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"yes, it happens. Talk to your endo. My endo made some changes to earlier basals which seemed to help me a lot. For the first trimester and even now (I'm 17 weeks) I have constantly changed my basals. For me it's been very strange because…"

Freakishly low BGs every single morning,now 15wks pregnant
As I mentioned in the title of this post, I am currently 15 weeks and 4 days pregnant. This is my first pregnancy. For the last 6 consecutive mornings I've been having low BGs no matter what I do. I always wake up around 8-9am with a 50 staring at me...I have a pump and I've been reducing my basal rates for the last three days by 0,05 or 0,10 decrements. I always wake up 3-4 times at night to try to catch the low before it actually happens. No matter what I do, no matter what I eat, I keep…See More
yotita replied to Kristin's discussion 'C-section tomorrow' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Congrats, Kristin!
Gorgeous baby!so happy the C- section went so well. And you look as if you weren't pregnant a few days ago! Way to go!"
yotita replied to Kristin's discussion 'C-section tomorrow' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I'm so happy for you, Kristin! I haven't been on tudiabetes for a while, but I kept thinking about you and your baby, since I am also pregnant and still haven't managed to get a CGM. So, I'm trying my best by checking my BG 15-20…"

Die Diabetes Hands Foundation hat beschlossen das System mit den Botschaftern für einzelne Länder aufzugeben. Trotz dieser Entwicklung halte ich es für wichtig, dass die deutschsprachigen Benutzer hier eine Anlaufstelle haben. Zu diesem Zweck habe ich eine neue Gruppe für Deutschland, Schweiz und Österreich angelegt. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn ihr bei dieser Gruppe Mitglied werden könntet. Grüße, Holger

DHF Germany Embassy said… - Ich bin der offizielle Botschafter der Diabetes Hands Foundation für Deutschland. Für alle Botschafter wurden Freundschaftsanfragen (Friend requests) an alle deutschen TuMitglieder verschickt. Leider war die Resonanz nicht sehr hoch und deshalb möchte ich nochmals für unsere deutsche Botschaft Werbung machen. Insbesondere möchte ich auf das Projekt TuAnalyze hinweisen. Dort kann man seinen letzten HbA1c Wert eingeben und für eine wissenschaftliche Studie des Children's Hospital Boston freigeben. Wir benötigen nur noch 16 Mitglieder aus Deutschland, die Ihren HbA1c Wert dort eingeben. Ist diese Schwelle erreicht, so wird der Durchschnittswert aller deutschen Mitglieder auf der Weltkarte farblich dargestellt. Viele Grüße aus Münster, Holger.
