Little finger on right hand is in agony! Can't take steroids as im 12 weeks pregnant

No I don't see a consultant, just have my BP monitored at clinic! I monitor my BP myself at home also and it seems my results are normal due to me taking BP medication.

Bit late with the congratulations but huge well done to you. So please for you!

I had my baby at 32 weeks due to pre eclampsia 12 months ago and still on meds. Was told I’m on them for life now but not to fall pregnant on them as they aren’t safe in pregnancy I’ll have to be given an alternative

I’m 12 months post partum I lost loads of hair. I got hairburst vitamins for new mums and it really brought my hair on. Now I have loads of hair growing back on my hairline which I’m delighted about but can be hard to style!! I got them in Holland and Barrett

Congratulations sarah I also followed your story last year. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months x

Also he had a half portion of chicken curry and rice for dinner

He just called me there and said he forgot to take his glucophage, only realised now and that's why it was so high! But it came back to 5mmol then so I'm confused! Now he is after taking the tablet that he missed while his bg is 5. Is he at risk of a hypo?

As the title suggests, my dad has been diagnosed with type 2. I'm a type 1 16 years so I'm trying to help him out as much as I can. He's on 500mg of glucophage 3 times a day. He checked his bg before dinner tonight and it was 4.8 mmol. He checked 2 hours after and it was 16.5mmol! That was at...

Hey guys! Quick update! I had my baby 10 days ago prematurely at 32 weeks. We are both still in hospital he will be in NICU for 5 weeks and I'm having trouble with my blood pressure it won't stay down! Having a bit of a hard time of it at the mo but can't wait to bring my little boy home next...

Wow!! I'm going through this exact situation at the moment! Found out yesterday my baby is measuring 5lb 1oz. I'm 31 weeks. My endocrinologist said she will see me back in clinic in 2 weeks and they will probably keep me in hospital until they either induce me or section me at 37/38 weeks. I'm a...

@Pilzy-89 massive congratulations girl! And Welcome to the world baby Harrison! Your story sounded so scary! I'm delighted both you and Harrison are doing well and it is over you now. I'm entering my 3rd trimester tomorrow turning 28 weeks. Starting to feel a little freaked out!!

@MelissaC it's a massive improvement from what it was so don't sell yourself short! I think mine was in and around that when I started trying, took 2 months to fall pregnant at which point it fell to 6.7%! You are so close it's within touching distance! Things are going great thanks for asking...

@MelissaC I'm really happy to hear that! Best of luck and hopefully you won't be waiting too long! Update us when you do fall pregnant! Congratulations on the a1c result too! Xxx

I hear you on the crazy number front! I'm 15+1 and super insulin sensitive at the mo! Also still being sick so I'm chucking meals up before they even reach my stomach and going hypo from that! I am unbelievably jealous you are at the 6 month mark lol looking forward to that number myself!! I had...

I got the same message @Pilzy-89 only managed to log in now! My first trimester retinopathy check results showed I still have background retinopathy which I was happy about, my second trimester appointment is in 4 weeks, hopefully it hasn't changed!! I am now 14+2 and seem to be doing the best...

I'm pretty sure endocrinologists and GPs wouldn't be handing out incorrect forms willy nilly if it was harmful to mother or baby! MelissaC you are sounding in good form Hun hope everything is going ok for you! Any updates on an a1c? Mine is 6.8% I've never had it so good! Keep wanting to do...

I honestly would never have gotten my a1c down if it wasn't for the Libre. I was going to a pre conception clinic for 4 years but could never get my a1c down low enough to start trying! I was selected for a trial and haven't look back since. I got my a1c down to 6.8% and am currently 10 weeks 5...

I was 16! Diagnosed 3rd of May 2001. Life changed forever that day

@MelissaC I was stuck on an a1c of 58 for aaaaaages! Nothing I did no matter how hard I tried would bring it down. Then one day my clinic called and said they put me forward for a trial on the Libre. I got a months trial and haven't looked back since. Yes it is self funded but I decided to...
