Hi, I am new to the forum, but I am desperate for some advice. I am a type 1 diabetic and I wear an Animas insulin pump. I also started wearing a CGM about a month ago. My husband and I are in the very pre-pregnancy planning stages, so I am trying to get my sugars under better control.
My problem is my morning sugars. They are going sky high. Most of the time they are in a good range when I wake up, sometimes as I am getting ready in the morning before breakfast they will start to rise rapidly, but other mornings it's fine.
My biggest problem comes after I eat breakfast. My sugars will rise to 225 and above within an hour or so of eating, they will begin to fall, but not be within normal range until about 3 hours after bolusing.
I am a very picky eater, but have been trying to adjust what I eat. Currently I am eating a bowl of cereal (Total 100% nutrition with blueberries and poms). It is made with whole grain, which I htought would help slow down the absorption.
Does anyone have any advice how to get my sugars from rising past about 140?
I know being a picky eater isn't much help....I eat like a five year old...literally!
Any advice would be so helpful!
Thanks,
Sara
