Hi You will be put on a sliding scale during labour. My pump alarmed constantly during labour and I thought I was going to get up and throw it out the window! Lol Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi I am in exactly the same boat! Having so many problems with air bubbles etc that I feel I just want to give up. A pump holiday sounds good. It might help me decide what's best for me. Hate complaining about it though as I know I'm very lucky to have one. Maybe if I can get my settings right I...

Hi I am 37 year old pump user type 1. I too am trying to get stable sugars to conceive as I would like to have another baby before I'm 40. Nov 2012 I had a little baby boy who died at 3 days old with multiple defects. We were and still are devastated. It was an accidental conception and although...

Hi I use carbs and cals app. No beef curry but chicken curry and rice for average size is 57 carb. Just be careful as it depends on your portion size. Highly recommend this app ( or book). Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi I am on an animas 2020 but find I am having air bubbles every day leading to high sugars. I keep the insulin vial out of the fridge and tap the cartridge ... Anybody else have this problem? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hi I am type 1 diabetic with endometriosis. I find that it really raises my sugar levels but I manage the pain with my anti spasm tablets. During my period I take a slight increase in insulin. Sorry not much use but just to let u know that ur not alone. Xxx Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Hope the cold passes soon and the old sugars get back to norm. It's only been 13 weeks since my world fell apart and I can't help but resent my diabetes more than ever. I was always so good with my control, nearly obsessive, and now I just don't care. I know I need to get back on track with it...

Hi I am very similar to you in that my diabetes started off as GD in my second pregnancy but was actually type 1. I too didn't fit the norm as I am small with tiny frame. My control with 2nd preg was much easier than my third. I had fluctuating sugars from the very beginning this time and ended...

Thank you for the replies. I didn't really expect anyone to have much experience as it so rare although there is a higher incidence of it in babies of diabetic mothers. Will try that link. Thanks for your thoughts all x Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Thought I'd try posting here too to see if I got any replies. I am a type 1 diabetic and recently gave birth to a beautiful little boy who they think had VACTERL syndrome. I am heartbroken that he died and can't help but blame myself and my diabetes for his death. I just wanted to hear from any...

Hi Just wanted to know if anybody has any experience of being diabetic and having a baby with vacterl?
