5 weeks 6 days

Sugar levels today: 55, 48, & 52. Minimal to no symptoms leading up to the low. Oh the joys of eating more sugar when you're already stuffed! Thankfully I have no nausea yet! I am combatting foot pain and a headache (from the lows) today. I'll try to get above 100 and stay there... Otherwise I'll be up all night eating more food and sugary things to stay alive!

Dinner of 60carbs or more: bg 122. . . .

  1. Why so low?? Can't you take no insulin and eat and be fine?? I don't understand :( at what point does baby end up hurt? what sugar level?

  2. Sometimes I can eat and my blood sugars will spike, other times, I can stay level and other times I can go low. There are no patterns with pregnancy hormones =( Baby's bg runs about 30% lower than mine. High levels for an (unspecified) extended amount of time can cause birth defects or death to the baby. Low levels are just not good for me... or so they say. I would think though that if I can have a seizure at a low level, so can baby.
