Wow that's so great - thank you for your helpful tips! I'm looking forward to learning more about pumps and hopefully getting one in the near future

Haha sorry!

Thank you both for your responses, I'm glad they're positive as it is something I would love to try going forward!! Can I ask a silly question - wear do you put the pump when you wear a dress? Haha.

Hi all, I've been diagnosed type 1 for 10 and a half months now and im thinking about getting a pump. I have a couple of reservations that come in the form of my 20 month old and 7 week old. Has anybody had a pump before and successfully not had it yanked out several times? This is a big...

I should also mention that for the past 10-ish weeks I have need to bolus 20-30 mins prior to eating but now I don't need to do that!

I was wondering if I could draw on others experiences where possible. I'm currently 27+4 weeks pregnant and in the past 4 days I've found that the insulin regime that I've been on for the past 3 weeks has become too much for me. I'm aware that insulin should be steadily increasing in pregnancy...

Thank you all for your replies! OH were a great help along side my manager on my return and some breaks were put into place for me. I'm back at work now and have been able to mostly see when my lows are going to happen as they're fairly consistent and I am trying to have a little something...

So with my pregnancy this is the main issue with going back to work. My basal can't be adjusted at the moment as my consultant actually increased it yesterday, so no idea what will happen after my body has adjusted. I'm not looking for any breaks, llet me make that known haha! Just that when I'm...

Ok this will be a long post so please bare with me... I'm currently finishing my maternity leave and going back to work after 16 months off. I was however, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes during my mat leave. I am also going back to work pregnant again (it was planned and I know I'm crazy haha)...

Thank you I will try that!

Looking for a bit of help or guidance from anybody who has experienced similar. So I'm 19 weeks pregnant and was only diagnosed with type 1 a few weeks before I found out I was pregnant. I have been managing my sugars as well as possible apart from dealing with regular hypos. My dsn has been...
