Hi everyone, I was once in sainsburys at the self serve till, there was a lady wearing a libre,one end then a lady who was a type 1 who had a pancreas/kidney transplant years ago, who I’d not seen for years, then me wearing my libre. All in 1 queue. I thought what’s the chances of that!

I know nothing at all about being pregnant with diabetes I’m afraid however has anyone even suggested your having too much insulin, not feeling the lows and the highs are a rebound from the unfelt lows?
