Hello! Bit of a long post! I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in September 2016, shortly afterwards I fell pregnant with my son. I had to really get a grasp quickly with the whole diabetes thing and get my blood sugars in control for the sake of my baby. Thankfully I did and there were no...

Hi @Tia, I'm currently pregnant and type 1. I fell pregnant in November when my HBA1C was 59 which is not ideal, slightly higher than they recommend. I was diagnosed with Type 1 in September and they advised it was dangerous for me to try for a baby as my sugars were so high. I read so much...

Thank you and thank you as well for the response. :) I don't think I would ever be able to cut out carbs from my diet, I like them to much! So far my ratio hasn't changed for my novorapid, I am still 1 unit to every 10grams but I have been advised this could change in the 3rd trimester.

Hello, Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong forum, I'm new to the site! I was diagnosed with type 1 last year (September), was a bit of a shock but I've adapted now. I'm 30 years old and 14 weeks pregnant with my first child. To get pregnant I was advised not to due to my recent diagnosed...
