They say to eat one carb like 3 new potatoes for example every meal as they don’t want you to enter ketosis pregnant. The numbers are so tight pregnant it’s hard. I was diagnosed late and ended up having a 9.5 ibs baby

Yes all I kept hearing was no ketones you can’t be type 1. As I sit there losing more weight ( I was a sporty person and I’ve lost so much muscle I can feel bones I‘ve never felt before) even when another gp sent me to AMU the consultant who saw me on there (who may I add told me he was doing a...

Hi, I do feel down about it. Still in shock with it all but can’t be helped that I have it. I’m on two types the rapid one which is an orange pen and a slow realise which is green. I should probably learn the names haha. I was getting friends and family to get a free one but yes all free now...

Hi. I’ve finally see consultant. Bloods done confirmed type 1 just never showed ketones ‍♀️

I’m on the phone to them now my glucose went to 15.6 and still +3 ketones but knowing 111 I won’t have a call back till tomorrow

My doctor gave me ketones strips as she’s not 100% on type 2 (24, bmi 22, no family history and hba normal in august) to monitor it until I can see endocrinology. I’ll admit o went out yesterday lunch and had low sugars and where my friends took me I had no choice to eat carbs but also needed a...

Apologies for the typos. I’ve dropped my phone and can’t see part of my screen :(

Hi. I had high bg 13.3 so checked my ketones last night they were +1 so left it as I remember being told +2. I’ve woken up and have +5 ketones but but bloods are only 7.9. This is fine right? As font injeeed high blood sugars too? Sorry I’ve just sort of been thrown stiff and told to get on with...

Yeah the spikes are odd. I did skip breakfast today as I was running late to meet friends. Until I ate at lunch the libre kept going off low glucose to I believe lowest being 3.2. If that’s what you’re wondering ? I will check with monitor when it happens again! Sorry think I wrote it wrong...

I wasn’t screen, I had to push when glucose started showing up in my urine.. my midwife was like oh should be fine tou shouldn’t have it.. I do wonder, though I don’t have a highly processed diet, lot of cooking from scratch :( May as well have a bad diet!

So the spag Bol sauce is homemade don’t buy jars, higher protein veggie mince and small portion of pasta but if that’s still too carby then I’ll try find a pasta replacement :( the roll was one of them small ones (lunch box) cream inside and on top which I pairs with cream in hope it would slow...

I’d like to think she’s ordered c peptide but I also thought she’d ordered GAD antibodies, till I was asked to come in for more bloods. I know but all the information regardless is helpful!

I think I may be the same, what do you do if you want a treat? It’s annoying seeing have a wholemeal sandwich or porridge for breakfast as that should be fine when it clearly isn’t! I feel stuck for ideas

Drinks are always diet or sugar free squash don’t have juice/energy drinks/ full sugar. I had spag Bol and then a small roll with cream to pair for pudding if I’m thinking of the right day. I’m fairly active as I have a very hyper 5 year old, though my sleep is shocking due to have a 7 month old...

The libre is amazing, though unsure how I’d afford them in the long run. One of my issues is I’m a veggie which doesn’t help my choice of foods. No I don’t think I can tolerate them at all! I’m a diet drinker and never have full sugar never have, don’t have juice ect. She wasn’t 100% and gave...
