I don't know if it is the Christmas season with all of it's carb loaded foods or just normal 5 mo pregnancy adjustments, but my need for insulin is going up. I am still feeling fine, but have had to adjust my long acting insulin from 32 units a day to 38 in order to get my morning reading back down below 100 and my carb ratio has gone from 1:5 to 1:4. I started this on Sunday and have since been low twice and it is only Tuesday morning. But I really think that both instances had more to do with the extra time I spent on the treadmill mill. I hate being low though. Not only do I feel all shaky and I get totally annoyed having to stand in line to buy candy/eat it when I am not hungry, but most of all I hate the feeling that my body has, that urging to stuff handfuls of sweet tarts in my mouth when my mind is protesting.
All 3 of my doctors have warned that the insulin requirements would be going up and here they go! From now until April it could be changing weekly.
