Thanks

Thankyou. I had my scan today. Baby has a lovely strong heartbeat and I’m on with the antenatal diabetes team again on Wednesday. I feel they have been really good at reacting to my BG levels and swift action with my treatment. I’m sure they will up my insulin as it’s not enough to make a...

Was diagnosed T2 about 3 weeks before getting pregnant I’m 7 weeks and 4 days. Was trying for 10 months unaware how poorly I was becoming. On metformin for 10 days and Boom ! Pregnant ... So my first medication was 500mg SR metformin. I was 15st 6lb and for a 5ft 4in woman that’s not the best...

You don’t even feel the insulin needle. I was dreading it too but with the 4mm fine needles you don’t feel a thing

So I have my lantus and my novorapid insulin pens. I’m to start the lantus first for 2 weeks at 2 units before bed. If that’s not doing it then I will have the novorapid at meals.

Thanks I will. My appointment is at 1pm, what a whirlwind this has all been lol

they are putting me on insulin tomorrow. I’m just not able to meet my targets despite 1g metformin twice a day and changing my diet drastically. I will be back on here tomorrow for more advise. I’m going to have Lantus at bedtime and novorapid with meals. I’m concerned about how much to give...

Sorry for the late reply. I’m 5 weeks pregnant now so have to test 5 times a day. I have to get my levels to that of a non diabetic person. 5.5 before meals and 7.5 two hours after. If I can’t manage it they are going to put me in insulin..

Thank you. I’ve just seen the nurse and she’s booked me in with the doctor tomorrow morning. Had a sneaky peek at my records on her computer screen and my last bloods were 63 mmol ? Is that good, bad ok ?

Hi I’ve not posted here in nearly three weeks. I’ve been on metformin and found out today I’m pregnant, I’m scared but happy because we’ve been trying for 10 months without success and wasn’t going to continue till I got this under control and lost about 4 stone. I think the metformin has played...

Thanks everyone

So I’m diabetic. Obvs ;-) lol they said my averages the last few months were 7 ?? I don’t know if that’s % or what. They didn’t test to see what type, they are guessing at type 2 . I’ve been prescribed Yaltormin SR 500mg tablets, which I will collect from my pharmacy later if they have them in...

Hi I had my annual check up with my Gastroenterology consultant last night and he said it is diabetes. I also have a fatty liver, which he said he will monitor closely as he is the top liver specialist in the area also. He said it will obviously be type 2 but didn’t confirm. When I mentioned my...

So I’ve had my blood taken and they have sent them away for 3 different tests. My ketone level was 4 They said it will take a few days to come back. They will not do anything for me until those results come back. So I guess more waiting

Yeah 9 seems to be my average at present. I’ve eaten much more carefully over the weekend. Trying to limit impact on my blood sugar with better food choices. It’s been a real wake up call I can tell you. Hope you are off the steroids soon. They usually taper you off before starting biological...
