I NEVER attended preconception clinic. I could not have dealt with being told that I was failing. I am almost 6 weeks now. With hopefully baby number 3! My hba1c was 50 begining of June don't know what it is now but imagine around the same. With all my pregnancies on finding out I tightened up...

I've changed insulin batches, swapped pods, superbolosed using a syringe ( wow how old school am I!) I just don't understand. I have just tested again using two different monitors and they are 26.5mmol. I've had more highs this fortnight than in the whole 27years of diabetes. I am starting to...

I've been type 1 for 27 years and for the past two weeks I have had hyperglycaemia everyday. This is not normal for me whatsoever. I've had glucose in the 20s eveyrday and am struggling to get it down. Every time I eat they skyrocket. I had 15g of carb and high protein for breakfast I tested an...

Had ds2 seven weeks ago. On pump and used the freestyle libre alongside blood testing. Was a totally different experience to being on a sliding scale as I was four years ago for ds1. DH scanned the libre every 10-20mins during active labour. I instructed action based on results used in tandem...

Hope all has gone well. Big hugs.

Guidelines ag my hospital are to induce at 38 weeks. I went to 39 with my first but docs were not happy with this. Induced at exactly 38 weeks with this one. Neither of my boys were especially big at birth: 6lbs 10ozs and 7lbs 10ozs but it was the possible placenta failure that worried my docs-...

Good luck. Big hugs. So recent for me if you've got any questions while youre waiting do ask! Just.over a week ago I was having my induction! X

Thanks eveyone. DS2 arrived on wednesday after incredibly long and painful induction. But no interventions and a vey standard delivery of 7lb10oz baby boy on gas and air (Little chunk!!) Pump was amazing-DS2 little low for first blood gluose but after that very normal. He went straight onto the...

Thanks everyone x

I don't post too often but am a true lurker. Bit worried now as my induction date seems to have krept up on me. :nailbiting:I just wanted to thank you all for the inadvertent support and confidence you've given me. I hope to have my son in my arms tomorrow but I am realistic so reckon...

I have only been weighed once my entire pregnancy and I am being induced on Monday! Consultants were much more interested in my diabetes control than my weight. I haven't weighed myself either...... as if we don't have enough to worry about. Blood glucose is our primary concern. I would not...

I was induced with my first and apart from forceps at the very end it was uneventful. I am being induced on the 18th this time around. I am being left in total charge of my own diabetes, my consultant has left notes for those caring for me during L&D. Have to site my pump on my thigh and keep...

Sounds like hkte doing an amazng job, I know it must be worrying and I can't lessen that worry but can say bigs hugs and it sounds asthufh they are looking after you and will be well prepapred for the birth of your little one. Wellndone on the hba1c- mine crept to 6.5 last month- interestingly...

congratulations! She is lovely.

Good luck, I hope it goes quickly and is as painless as possible! :)xx

Thanks for your support. It was a consultant who did the scan. I use a freestyle libre light which in essence is a CGM as well as my pump for BG readings so it shows the continuous pattern. I wish there was reason for the growth but there aren't highs that I don't know about and certainly none...

Had a scan yesterday. Now 32 and a bit weeks. Was a different consultant. Baby has jumped in 2 weeks from AC measurement on 50th percentile to 97th! Doc started panicking and booked induction for 38 weeks but said I should expect earlier and a c-section. She then said I must have had high BG...

I just want to ask about such low hba1cs. There is no way on earth my consultant would be happy under 37. I hypo all the time and mine is 43. I mean that's impressive but how does it affect your life? With this pregnancy I've been more or less between 45 and 42. Baby is just measuring entirely...

Type 1 and on pump. I do lots of correctiona though. I will carry on with taking the dose 20-30mins before eating. Thanks for the advice!

Probably should add I am almost 29 weeks along. Whoops...
