Hey Lynzb, I was given a rough date of my induction,I.e. I was told pretty early on that it would be during my 38th week of pregnancy.But I was given a firm date two weeks before my induction by my obstetrician.I was around 36weeks pregnant at that stage.I’m not sure if that is the standard...

Thanks very much!I’m feeling alright at the moment.More fatigued but generally things have remained consistent.Apparently in the 3rd trimester your insulin requirements increase dramatically but I haven’t found that as of yet.But I may be in the minority because I’ve always been extremely...

Hi there,congrats on your pregnancy.I’m T1 and 33weeks pregnant with my first baby.I had a similar experience as you in my first trimester.My hypo’s were severe (regularly in the 2’s to 1.0mmol range) and would be very stubborn to treat. It was scary,exhausting and frustrating to deal with but...

Hey there, Congrats on your pregnancy.I’m also T1,pregnant and I have an anxiety disorder so I can relate to some of your concerns. I know it sounds easy but try not to worry as severe stress can be even more harmful to all pregnant women,especially during the first trimester. My blood sugar...

Hi lynzb,I’m T1 Diabetic and 17weeks Pregnant with my first child.All I can say that I’ve learnt so far is that we can’t be perfect as firdosa4 said.I also beat myself up about high and very low blood sugar readings in the 1st trimester but speaking to other T1 mothers in forums reassured me...

Hi Lynzb, congrats on your pregnancy.I’m currently 17weeks pregnant and T1 diabetic.I was on novarapid and levemir before pregnancy but I switched to fiasp at 12weeks due to novarapid taking at least 30-40minutes to start working before meals which was a massive hassle and caused me loads of...

Hey there,my HBA1C was 43 when I conceived but it’s since dropped to 37.I’m now 16weeks pregnant.I struggled with a lot of hypos in my first trimester but switching from Novorapid to FIASP has helped a lot.

Hey Jenni34, I’m also Type 1 and currently 12weeks pregnant.I found out I was pregnant at 4.5weeks but still had to wait until 12 weeks pregnant to have my 1st scan.The wait was torture as I was worrying more because I’ve had a lot of hypos but thankfully baby is healthy so far.I think the...

Hello Juicyj, Thanks for your response. I’m not a big fan of meat but the rest of the items you mentioned sound good and most importantly,varied as I’m getting tired of the same things. I’m quite sensitive to insulin so I don’t Bolus for the current snacks I take at the moment but most of them...

Hi Everyone, I’m Type 1 Diabetic and I’m currently 9weeks pregnant. At the moment I’m really struggling with low carb and low fat snacks I can eat. Pre-pregnancy I rarely needed to snack between meals but due to the constant hunger and nausea that follows if I don’t eat at regular intervals,I...

Thank-you BeckiDover for saying what many T1’s are thinking!There is sooo much blanket coverage of T2 Diabetes in the media that T1’s constantly gets overlooked and ignored.Its very frustrating constantly having to explain to people that T1 is not caused by an unhealthy diet or being...

Hey everyone,thanks for your responses-I found them all really helpful.I was able to contact my Diabetic nurse this morning and she said that there’s not much you can do about the spikes themselves-it is more than likely hormonal (and no surprise given the amount of hormones and chemicals...

Hey All, I wonder if I could get some advice.I’m 33 and was diagnosed with T1 Diabetes 13 years ago.I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and overall my blood sugar control has been pretty good. But I have found over the past couple of weeks that about 3 1/2 hours after dinner (after I have taken...
