Not home yet ? Due to my diabetes I had to use a lot of insulin to keep baby safe , myself safe, and…

Praying for you momma! Get better ??❤️

So frustrating. Is it insulin still in your system or something?

My husband is type 1 and it takes a few days for the baseline insulin to work out of his system. I hope your numbers come up soon. I always worry when he gets below 80 or so. The more it happens the less he feels it and then it’s even harder to deal with. Plus he doesn’t think clearly when it’s low.

I hope you get to go home soon but sounds like you’ve got a good care team.

When I was pregnant I was taking a total of 76 units in the morning , 30 at dinner time and 46 at bed time so after I deliver they took out half of each number so my sugar was in the 52 to 62 range so due to that they kept me I guess till they figure out what dose will work for me when I go home so I understand that . I just honestly want my bed and be able to be relax . Also my milk hasn't come after I had leak thought my pregnancy so I'm really having a hard time trying to make it work ? I hope they don't drop tonight so we can get discharge tomorrow morning

That's some serious insulin! My basal is around 13 and I wake up feeling low. Then I've been doing about a 1/20 ratio of carbs to insulin. So haven't needed more the 4 units at any meal and still often don't use any cause I try for as much carb free as possible.

Makes sense if you were requiring that much that it might take a while for your pancreas to pick up the slack and even your system out again.

Hopefully you'll stabilize soon!

?? mama!

Update : my blood sugar was excellent this morning but now baby have jaundice so I might not even be able to take her home with me till tomorrow ?
