Thank you so much for your kind words, that’s really reassuring. The last couple days have been a little better, although still not completely hitting the targets. I’m so happy to be expecting and so terrified. I think as my first pregnancy was filled with stress from the diabetes diagnosis...

Thank you, I will check in :-)

Thank you, I appreciate this. I reckon you’re right!

Thank you:) I’ve only just found out today, so have emailed my diabetes team but haven’t heard back yet. I happen to have an appointment scheduled with my consultant in a couple of weeks anyway, so that’s lucky I suppose! I suppose I’m worried as I was very well controlled up until a couple...

Hi everyone, I have type 1 diabetes and I’ve just found out I’m pregnant. I’m terrified of anything going wrong. This is my second pregnancy, but was diagnosed with diabetes during my first pregnancy at 35 weeks (gestational, then type 2 after birth, then type 1 the following year). I’m on...

I have had this over the last several days. Absolutely no clue why, wondering if I might be getting ill? I was wondering if you’re still struggling with this and if you found an explanation?

Hi @EllieM, thank you so much for sharing your experience. It’s reassuring to hear :-) The hypos is something that worries me as I find them pretty scary still. Hoping a pump would help with them though. You are obviously absolutely right that people with type 1 have had babies since before...

I am not really sure what I’m hoping to get out of posting, maybe some reassurance or experiences on type 1 and pregnancy/labour/babies as I’m looking to conceive and feeling pretty anxious about it all! I was diagnosed with diabetes in my first pregnancy so don’t have any relevant experiences...

Thank you all! It’s starting to make more sense, especially with the lifespan of the red blood cells. However I’m still confused with my TIR being particularly poor recently, the hba1c result being better than before. I might just accept and celebrate this however instead of trying to...

My time in range has been pretty poor due to illness and a variety of other things, so it made me think my hba1c would be much higher. Even the difference between the hba1c in November and December is a bit strange to me…it just made me wonder whether it could be quite inaccurate. Maybe I’m...

Happy new year! I was just wondering if hba1c can be wrong at all? I’ve always read that hba1c is the most accurate measurement (I know nothing is 100% accurate), but I’m wondering which measurement to trust… My hba1c in November was 59, my hba1c in December was 55. My dexcom suggests my hba1c...

Hi there, congratulations on your pregnancy! I didn’t want to read and run, but dont have any answers either. I was wondering if you’ve been given a blood glucose monitor and are able to do a finger stick? I use the freestyle Libre and my alarm sometimes goes off and it’s correct but sometimes...

Such a shame isn’t it! It obviously still is so helpful, but I’m hoping to go onto a pump in the future and I worry about the accuracy of the sensors giving issues with that!

Hi! I have the same problems, it’s so annoying. Also spoken to Abbott and no solutions offered really. In addition my last 4 sensors have been completely inaccurate (talking 3-5 mmols difference with finger prick), they basically told me I must have put it on wrong and they’ll send me new...

So sorry for the late reply! I completely forgot which forum I posted on and could not find it again…like I said it’s all getting used to everything! thank you everyone for commenting, really appreciate it! I spoke to Abbott who sent a new one. I put this on and even though the first day or so...
