Hi,
Can I ask what insulins you take? Are you on pump or MDI (multiple daily injections). Is your basal insulin taken once or twice a day.
If you are going low from exercise, you may need to decrease your basal (this is easier if you are on a pump). Alternatively you may plan your exercise after eating and inject slightly less than usual insulin for the meal, as the exercise will naturally bring your blood sugars down.
If you were my patient, I would advise you that it sounds like you are experiencing episodes of low blood sugar which many women have during pregnancy. A good suggestion that can help with symptoms is to keep a bit of something in your stomach all the time Many women have told me about Cheerios, or Goldfiish Crackers These symptoms do NOT mean that you have diabetes, but if my patients have a suspicious history or family history of diabletes, I might suggest a few blood sugar checks too.
But this morning I got really lightheaded and a headache all of a sudden(which I know is normal in pregnancy) but I checked my blood pressure again to see if that was it, and it was perfect. So I checked my blood sugar and it was 79, I had just had a fruit smoothie. The medical assistant at work told me it was low, and then another told me it was slightly low. My question is does anyone know what it should be? I go to the Dr tomorrow so I will ask him, but I'm just curious.

Found it: 6.2 A1C is an average blood sugar of 131. Your typical blood sugars sound a bit higher than that, so I'm wondering if they have gone up recently and that A1C is older. Again, A1Cs are just an average and lows could skew it. Your daily numbers tell the story and if those are consistent then you want them lower. Doctors, unfortunately, have higher goals because the ADA is behind on what blood sugars should be and that is their guidelines.
Is 130 high for blood sugar?
Diabetic neuropathy develops due to nerve injuries caused by decreased blood flow and high blood sugar levels, more likely if the blood sugar levels are not well controlled. Peripheral nerve injuries may affect the nerves in the skull or the nerves from spinal l column.
