I had GD last pregnancy requiring insulin before each meal. On Tuesday I was given the option of starting on insulin just for breakfast. The reason being I am finding it so hard to eat anything without going over blood sugar level (other meals are fine at the moment!) Even eating weetabix x 2 drop of milk no sugar and my level was 9!!!! With insulin today my level was still too high at 8!!!
Next thing is my levels are dropping like a stone between meals - I was told not to drive if bs is lower than 5 - twice today I've needed to drive and my BS has been 4.8 and 4.6!!! So I've had to eat before driving even though I feel fine and am not hungry!
I was told the insulin only stays in the body for 3 hrs so this can't be effecting me all day and now I just don't know what to do!!
Anybody help??
