Hi I already have 4 children from before I was diagnosed type 1all were straight forward deliverys. I realise birth will be different due to diabetes but I dread the thought of laying in bed unable to move for hours as I've always had active labours with the others . Does anyone have any...

Are you taking them with water or juice ? I take sanatogen ones and don't have any issues

They do contain glucose syrup which would explain the spike.

Hi thanks for reply I've found toujeo a life saver as it works over a few days so don't have to inject daily and it really improved my HBAC1. I still have hypos but that's because Im to quick to correct if I get a high reading x

Hi I'm 13 weeks my HBAC1 was 59 .Had my first scan yesterday and baby is doing well.

Been diagnosed for 2 years now .I'm on humalog . Before pregnancy I was allowed to go up to 9. Now should be 6.4 2 hours after meals and 5 .2 fasting.

Highest it's been was between 8 and 9. I tried taking the insulin before eating to see if that helped but didn't make a lot of difference .

I've sent my libre readings off to Dsn she's come back advising that post breakfast is a bit high and to increase my morning dose from 6to 7 units so I've tried this morning after a bowl of bite size shredded wheat 2 hours later and my sugars on 4 .2 still dropping . I haven't even taken a...

Hi my HBAC1 was 59 unplanned pregnancy not ideal but with diabetes your not going to have normal levels as our bodies don't work the same . Provided you try and lower it see how the libre works try cutting certain things out your diet I found by making little changes such as having a low carb...
