Hi all. I'm northern ireland and waiting on ivf. Due to start in August. My clinic want my hba1c at 53/7% before I can start. I'm currently 57/7.4% Im doing my best to avoid foods that spike me, exercise for one hour each day and have had my metformin increased from 500mg once daily to twice...

I managed to get on a laptop and created a diasend account. I then connected it to my librelink app on my phone. On the diasend Web page it says I'm connected and on my phone app it says I'm sharing date with diasend so it all looks OK. But the date hasn't transfered/downloaded what have I missed?

Please help! My diabetes nurse wants me to create a diasend account but the sheet of paper she gave me explains it from a computer and using the reader. I don't have a computer and I use the app on my phone rather than the reader. Would I still be able to create the account?

The symptoms of shin splints are very similar to what I'm experiencing. I bought orthotic insoles and tried walking today again but same pain and had to stop after just ten minutes. I do think I've very high arches. Would it be a physio or podiatrist I'd need to see? Have to say I'm very...

Oh 100% important. Going to head into town soon and treat myself to good quality supportive footwear. Will help me walk further and further [emoji16]

Yes I recently had that checked but can rule that out. Think I might need a more supportive shoe. Thanks Jo!

I live in uggs in the winter and flip flops in the summer! Definitely going to look into a more supportive shoe. My diet is my number one priority and have lost 6lb so far [emoji16]thank you! X

Just a pair of sketchers. Definitely going to try the insoles thanks!

He there. I'm 5ft 6in and 15st. We have just been given the go ahead for ivf so I need to get fit and lose weight. I bought myself a fitbit to motivate myself. Previously having suffered depression Im very unfit. In fact I never exercised. The past two weeks I've been going walks but after...

Yes it's just that I'm sure she said I should take a higher dose because I'm diabetic. I should have asked her then but I have white coat syndrome lol! Will speak to the pharmacy. Thank you xxx

My GP mentioned today that I should be taking a high dose of folic acid whilst waiting for ivf. This could be months away yet as we are waiting for an egg donor. Just curious as to what others have taken and how far in advance? Also why do diabetics need a higher dose?

I'm not sure it was given to me by my GP

Yes I suppose that sounds about right. I've never had a sick line before so just assumed it would state a reason. Yes the 28days will cover me until the end of my notice period..

I have been incredibly stressed at work causing my bgs to be high teens on work days. I've handed in my notice as I have found a less stressful position. As it is having such a bad impact on my health I requested a sick line from my GP. However the sick line just says "med 3 doctor's assessment"...

Thank you @db89 suppose like everything itl just be trial and error. Going to try tonight with my tea and see how I get on [emoji106]

Thanks @SueJB and @Juicyj I will maybe try it tonight and see how it goes. @helensaramay thank you love I'm just new in the job so don't want to draw too much attention to myself till I settle in a bit. I understand everyone is different and that's just my personal preference for the time being...

For convenience at work I was hoping to inject my fiasp to my arms instead of my tummy. I'm wondering if this effects the time itl take for it to work? Also is it more painful in the arm? I've only ever used tummy..

Thanks so much for your reply. I should have explained I have no choice but to go down the ivf route as I went through menopause at age 15.

Hi I'm type 1 34yo on fiasp/Levimer mdi. I'm 3 Stone overweight and my last a1c was 7.5% My consultant has referred me to the pre pregnancy clinic but I'm just wondering what happens here? What does it involve? How often do you go etc? I know my age and weight etc will make ivf difficult but...

Thank you @donellysdogs [emoji813]
