Should i just sit down?

Hi all! Would love any thoughts. I'm four months postpartum and have started working out again. I wasn't actively working out during pregnancy but walked daily, and was keen to get back to running and cycling on my peleton. I feel okay generally and have been listening to my body however whenever I run I start to feel run down and all my stats seem to be telling me to stop what I'm doing. I am not getting amazing sleep but not really expecting to at this stage. Do I need to wait until my baby is sleeping through the night?

I am following a runna postpartum running plan 2x a week atm. It's quite slow and includes run-walking. And/or I do 1-2 cycle classes a week. I am walking regularly and little man is keeping me busy ofc!

My garmin regularly tells me I am unproductive or strained and my cycling v02 seems to go down each time I work out.

Im not interested in losing any weight, 90% it feels good for my brain and 10% would love to get fit again eventually. Would love any suggestions or ideas!

What is going on?

Morning guys! Planning to call my diabetes midwife on monday but would love any tips or advice!

Im 36 weeks and numbers have mostly been diet controlled for the last few months, i was then put on metformin which was then doubled to try to control my fasting numbers. This still hasnt gotten in range so was put on insulin. First 2 units, then 4 and then last night 6. I did my insulin last night and shortly after had my usual protein shake. I fell asleep on the sofa and woke up to go to bed however felt really sick and confused, checked my cgm which said my blood sugar was low at 3mmol. Out of a bit of panic i sucked on a sweet and had some oatmeal then went to bed. Woke up with a 5.6mmol (i need to be under 5.3). Did i mess it all up? Im kind of scared that will happen again, it wasnt a nice feeling at all! Any thoughts welcome 😅
