Hi there!
I have developed gestational diabetes again. This is my second pregnancy and this time its been picked up a bit sooner. I had a rough time last time as I was allergic to pretty much every type of injectable insulin I was given. I developed raised red and itchy reactions around the injection site. I was advised to take Piriton (didnt want to take due to being pregnant) and my Gp also suggested Eurax cream which is not recommended in pregnancy. I tried cold weater on cotton wool and even calamine lotion. It was so horrible!!!
Anyway the reason I am writing is because I thought it was known that people could develop advserse reactions to insulin. However, my hospital and my GPs had not heard of it.
Would be really interested to hear from anyone who has had the same problem and would be fascinated to know what, if anything, they did to relieve the suffering. Obviously being pregnant means extra precautions but I am desperate to find something that works, having started on HumulinS on Tuesday.
Many thanks and best wishes to all of you. This forum and all who contribute are tremendous
