Hi! Need help please! I'm a type 1, on an insulin pump. Usually have well controlled sugars. I've recently come of the contraceptive pill and not have a period yet. My husband and I are trying to conceive so we had sex on 10th and 15th Aug. Since the 10th my blood sugars keep spiking. I do...

Thank you both so much :) I think I will wait, I don't want to risk anything bad happening, and it's only 12 weeks until my next hba1c...I must learn to be patient! It's just so hard when you feel so ready! 4 girls at work are pregnant so I'm surrounded by bumps and it makes me sad that I have...

Hi! Thanks for your reply :) yes I've been to pre preg, I have folic acid and they advised to get it in the 7's then I can start trying but I guess I impatient! Do you know what the risks are if I did get pregnant now, or even at 7%??xx

Hi! I a type 1 diabetic, me and my husband are desperate to start a family. I have recently started using an insulin pump and over the last year and a half have got my hba1c down from 14% to 8.6%. Do you think this is still too high to start trying? Should I try and get it down further? I'm so...

Hi! Wondered if anyone can help, I have done a search but can't find what I'm looking for! I'm going to a pump clinic on 19th Jan, to get the ball rolling and be put on a pump for the first time! I'm 26, have been on many times on insulin in the 18 years I've been type 1 and am now resisting...

Hi Brett, sorry for late reply, been very busy! I'm doing well, thank you, Ive been testing loads, and now finding im hypo-ing abit more, so trying to find the balance now! Very frustrating!!

Thanks everyone! I've got a new diary to start recording my blood results and I've already started injecting more already. You would think after 17 years of being type 1 diabetic i would know what im doing! Im just fed up of diabetes controlling my life instead of me controlling it! Im going to...

Thank you both sooo much! Im guna try extra hard to keep testing. Its nice to get advice from people who know what its like! Sent from my GT-I9195 using DCUK Forum mobile app

I try and keep a diary but testing my blood is not my strong point although im making a big effort now. I tend to panic if its too high, but feel unsure of correction doses because then i hypo. I HATE hypos, so eat like crazzzzy then its high again. I cant seem to balance it! Diabetes is so...

I have been a really badly controlled type one for 17 years now (I'm now 25)but recently I have got my Hba1c from 13% down to 9.7% which I'm so pleased with! BUT I'm now stuck and feel i have hit a wall and cant get it down any more. My next blood test is due in January, and i want it to come...

Hi! Ive been on this insulin for a few months now. I think its great, i do it once a day, before bed and it stops my night hypos as i was getting them regularly and then getting really high sugar levels the next morning. Its supposed to last a full 24 hours as background insulin, unlike others...

I had pins and needles and numbness in my legs and feet too. I get shooting pains and my legs spasm. I have to sleep with a pillow between my legs because it hurts to have one leg on top of the other! I went to the Doctors and they told me straight away that i had peripheral neuropathy. They...
