Hi Maddie. Sorry only just seen this. I’m still trying to get myself at the late 40s range. I’m currently at 55. The nurse never said that I couldn’t go ahead but my levels aren’t ready yet. I’m hoping to start trying by the end of September. How’s it going for you? Yvonne x

Thank you for responding. Juicyj.

Just wanted to know what was suggested your HBA1C should be when trying for a baby and what it was. I had one nurse say it should be early 40s but my latest nurse said around 55 would be fine.

Hello to all my fellow diabetics. So last night I went out for a meal with my boyfriend and went for a few drinks before. It was only when I was waiting for my food at the restaurant that I realised that I left my insulin at home. I didn't panic and just said that I would correct myself when I...

Heya, thanks for your response. It definitely makes it easier when you can speak to someone who is type 1. I am in a lucky position that my tutor has type 1 diabetes and he has said that he is happy to answer any questions I might have about it, so that's good. In regards to my PGCE, I am...

Hey all, So this is my first post. I'm 27 and I was diagnosed with Type 1 at the end of August, so it is still early days and have a lot more to learn. I am so far managing my levels but am finding that I have other issues which are stress related. The timing hasn't been great as I just...
