Hiya, I'm T1 diabetic and looking to loose weight. I have signed up for the Body Coach 90 day plan which is a low carb very high protein diet. I've tried out a few initial recipes and have noticed a rise in my blood ketone levels. My kidney function is all normal but am concerned about going...

Hi, had a miscarriage confirmed this week. Just wasn't meant to be. But enlightened me to the processes and support available. Thank you for all your kind words xx Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum

Thank you! The support of this forum has been amazing! Least I know all that's involved for a planned try in the future xx Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum

Been bleeding now since Tuesday. Bright red and sorry for tmi with clotting. Not looking hopeful I'd say. Got to wait till Monday to do a test and see. Xx Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum

Thank you. This is quite a lot (won't go into tmi on this) so I'm not hopeful. Outwith my DSN who has been nothing short of amazing I've totally lost all faith in the NHS through this entire process. The insensitivity of just monitor the bleeding and try a test in a week floors me. Xx Sent...

I've had fairly heavy bleeding with some clotting for a day now. Been to A and E, got told to self refer to EPU. After waiting for three hours from reply from EPU got told probably miscarriage, monitor bleeding and try a pregnancy test in a weeks time. Absolutely devastated X Sent from my...

Thanks azure, I'm pretty sure I'm going ahead. Heads all over the place with the high hba1c let alone adding in a break up plus prospect of doing this as a single mum (supported yes by partner but not as a couple) xx Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum

Hi Jenny_B_ I was just wondering how you've gotten along since your scans? I'm approx 4/5 weeks along now and like you this is unplanned and my hbA1c was 9.7!! Xx Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum

Hi, the DSN and consultant were great. They helped with a lot of the anxiety I'd had about the fact that my blood sugars were very high at conception. They explained there is still a chance the blood sugars may have impacted on abnormalities etc but that I would be screened rigorously to check...

Thank you for all your support! Have an appointment with the DSN and consultant to go over how we progress/ risks with me and my partner. X Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum

Hi, sorry for no replies in a while, had a lot to get my head around. You were all right, DSN explained there were risks and I am high risk but that it wasn't as doom and gloom as I had first thought. She has no doubt I'll be able to get my Hba1c down sensibly as my bloods since I found out...

Hi @azure @1Sarah1 I got my Hba1c back today. It's 97. Very high. My GP consulted with a DSN at my local hospital. I've been told to progress with this would be incredibly high risk for me and the baby. There would be 20% chance of abnormalities, strong possibility I would miscarry and I'm at...

Thank you for your speedy and incredibly helpful replies. I have an appointment with my DSN today, and should get HbA1c back on Friday. My GP has been great and already got me on folic acid prescription. I've been on top of my bloods for past day or so, slowly getting nearer where they...

Hi, I am 29 and have been type 1 for 23 years. I'm ashamed to say I've missed my past two annual checks at the diabetic clinic. I'm pretty sure my Hb1 will be over 100. I had made the choice to get back in control of things (a hectic work life just seemed to take over) and had an appointment...
