Thank you so much @Juicyj That’s great advice I will definitely do what you suggested. This erratic sugar is driving me mad and I feel rubbish with it. Thanks again I really appreciate it.

Hello @Juicyj Yes when I eat I always bolus. I treat my lows mainly with Coke or dextrose tablets. I am aware that I can consume more than sometimes is needed in that moment where you feel rough as. I have a correction dose on my Medtronic pump set 1:4 so every 1 unit reduces my sugar by 4. If...

Hello I have been exercising and eating high protein diet along with carbs. I’ve lost nearly 3 stone. My sugar levels the past three weeks have been so erratic, they swing from high to low and then low to high. I’m on a pump, I was due to see consultant urgently but this has been cancelled and...

Thank you both for the reply’s. I’m 37. I think it’s about a year ago since I had liver, kidneys etc checked, but vitamins etc I think when I was pregnant with my daughter 3 years ago. I’m doing 16:8 and also low carb, I’m going to stick with this for a while to see if I can lose some weight...

I’ve gained around 2 1/2 stone in around 3 months. I’ve been exercising and eating well, I did low carbs and when I’ve previously done this two years ago I lost a bit of weight. I’ve done the 800 cal diet, and now I’m doing 16:8 fasting but I’ve not lost a pound. I’m really strict with my food...

Hello I’m type one and started 16;8 fasting yesterday. My overall control is 6.8 but I want it to be lower. I done no carbs for two weeks but didn’t lose weight, I need to lose 2-3 stone so I thought maybe 16:8 will help me. Can any of you share with me your success stories on this way of life?

How do you do the porridge please

A CGM is quite bulky on your tummy, but I have to be honest I love my dexcom CGM. It’s a life saver for me, I have poor hypo awareness so the alarms are my life line. My control has also improved since having one the last two years. I wouldn’t be without it now and self fund one. So many...

I was driving after 3 weeks form c section. I spoke to my insurance company and they said as long as I was fit and it was agreed by midwife/gp then no problems at all. I know some insurances point blank say no but most now will say it’s ok as long as you’ve had clearance from GP/health...

She was in hospital for 5 and half weeks. She was 2lb 9 born. She did well and avoided infections, she struggled to put weight on which held her back a bit. She’s 18 months now and running me ragged [emoji85] but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I hope you’re doing ok.

My daughter was born at 30 weeks, leaving them in SCBU is hard, but she’s 18 months and developing as she should. SCBU will look after your little girl. I think born around 34-35 weeks the biggest issue will be feeding. They will support you immensely. Fingers crossed it’s a short stay and your...

Amazing

My daughter was born 30 weeks, I managed to have steroids 5 days before, i found them ok. I had a c section, I was up the next day, dressed and walking around the hospital, I recovered quickly. Good luck ladies xx

My little one was born at 30 weeks. She’s 15 months now and is ok. I was in hospital for a week, with every day she stayed put seen as a bonus. I hope you’ve had steroid injections x Good luck xx
