Any type one diabetics on here or anyone who has gestational and has some input, I have a question! My drs got mad at me today because I only check my blood sugars when I wake up, before meals and then at bedtime. I was told I was doing it all wrong and I needed to do the 1-2 hour post meal sugars too! I wasn't told to do that with my first and now I'm frustrated because now instead of 6 pricks a day I will have about 10! Did you guys do this also?

They want me to test 12 times a day. I really want a cgm because I feel like a pin cushion

@mimiz, mine is controlled as well! my highest number so far this pregnancy has only been 140! but they told me that they could care less what my fasting sugars are, they want to see where my sugars peak at so they can see what's going to baby? ugh so stressful haha

@babymikel2016, I'm stuck on injections! my doctor refuses to see type ones who are on a pump! I'm not sure why, but she hates pumps and dealing with them. Plus my insurance no longer covers pump material:(

Oh man! I'm trying to switch pumps so I don't have to go on shots. I don't control well without my pump.

Haha @babymikel2016 it's definitely not easy! I used to be on an animas ping then switched after 4 years to the Medtronic 360 or whatever it's called lol. I absolutely hate it and I wish I stayed on the animas! It was literally the best thing. But now I don't think I can get another pump because insurance ruins lives lol

I have had gestational diabetes with all my pregnancy. This is my third. Currently I take a fasting, and 2 hours after each meal, then a bedtime. So 5 times total.

I'm a diabetic and the way my doctor has it is take a fasting blood sugar when you get up and 2 hours after every meal

I have to do morning and two hours after each meal and bedtime. I hate it because I don't always eat three meals a day so I can't always get accurate counts.
