    How to lower HBA1C before pregnancy? Help!!!

    You're welcome & you'll do it. My diabetes team say women always get their hba1c down when pregnant. When I asked how they said 'they just do' lol. I guess if that means eating the same thing for 9 months then that's what you do (difficult if you feel unwell though). My best advice would be to...

    How to lower HBA1C before pregnancy? Help!!!

    Hello, you sound exactly like I was & still am although I'm now 8 weeks pregnant. I used to get so fed up because there was just no consistency or logic to my sugar levels. I went on a pump like you & managed to get my hbac1 down to 7.2 pre conception. My diabetes team were happy for us to start...

    Highs in first trimester

    Thanks for your reply & reassurance. I was already on the pump before getting pregnant & love it! My hba1c was 52 (6.9) in June. I'm 7 weeks pregnant now & it was 45 (6.3) the other day. Had an appointment with the diabetes nurse & she's very pleased with my readings so think I was being a bit...

    16 weeks pregnant and hypos all day !!

    Hello, Congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm only 6 weeks along so can't offer much advice although I thought I'd read that most women experience highs in the first trimester & then sudden lows in the second?? I, however, don't seem to have an established pattern at all which is fun. Are you...

    Type 1 & TTC

    Congratulations on your pregnancy! Tbh I think I'm so desperate to conceive that I'm just looking for any sign that I might be pregnant! I had a weird day yesterday where I just kept going low so that got my hopes up. I would've only ovulated last Monday though so I know it's unlikely to mean...

    Type 1 & TTC

    Hello, I'm type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump & my husband & I are currently trying to conceive. I've read on other forums that people's sugar levels start to change once they're pregnant & was wondering how soon after conception this starts? Also, did your levels go higher or lower? Did it...
