Is your permanent or do they not know yet?

I will be tested after I drop sprog but they think I might remain diabetic as this is my 3rd diabetic pregnancy.

Never had a hypo, despite bs being at 1.2 for several hours???, happened in hosp and diabetic doc called and could nt fathom it out, no physical or neurological effects??? so its kinda hard to watch for the signs?

ooh tricky. I feel hypo coming on at 4. but that might because my blood sugars are fairly high rest of time. Im injecting insulin before meals and bed and correcting after most meals. Have to up insulin levels every 2 days today I will be taking a minimum of 66 units.
I would just check before a ride and during ride when everyone stops for smoke. Hope it doesnt restrict you too much, especially as you have just got back in the saddle regularly. take care x
