    Aspirin in T2 Pregnancy

    I’m T2, last HBA1C was 35 and found out last week I’m pregnant. Now 19 weeks + 1 day & midwife has recommended I take aspirin, Vit D and Folic Acid. Anyone else had this advice/recommend?

    First HbA1c since diagnosis

    I want to say thank you to every single person who has helped, advised, supported & encouraged me since I joined the forum. In 8 weeks, my HbA1c has reduced from 78 to 58. Feel like all of the hard work I’ve done to go LCHF is working. It could, of course, be the metformin but I’m going to...

    Contour Next One v True You
