Thank you for this. Is that 55 mmol?

Yes they recommend a Hba1c of 6.1% but 6.5% and below is acceptable. Such a tough target.

Hi all, I'm T1D and I've been working on my bloods since November 2016 for pregnancy. However my HbA1c results have consistently come back at 6.8%. So frustrating! I find that I get really stressed in the build up to the test and my bloods go high for about 2 weeks prior as a result. I'm...

Wow really? Ok I'll monitor it for a couple of months and see if a pattern comes up

Thanks that's really reassuring. I appreciate it.

I hadn't thought of that but it might do actually. I'll make a note on my calendar and see if there is a pattern. Thank you

Hi all. Is it part and parcel of diabetes to have bad weeks? I find that my BG is generally good for a couple of weeks then I'll have a week of bad bloods. My diet isn't really different on these weeks. It's all very weird. For example, my BGL is usually between 5-7mmol first thing in the...

What was your result?

I was going to ask of you were coming down with an illness when I read your post and now I see you are ill! I totally understand your frustrations. I'm currently trying to get strict control so that I can have another baby. A hard task when I am honeymooning. It's a hard journey and I just...

7.4% in March 2016. 6.7% August 2016. 6.8% November 2016. Planning for another pregnancy so am trying to get more control. Next test will be next month

If you're new to this are you honeymooning? That could explain things too

It's a shame you feel that way. I had my son before I was diagnosed. I'm still planning to have another and I in no way feel like I'll be handing my future child a death sentence. They'll have the opportunity to live life and if they do become diabetic they will still be able to live life to the...

Oh wow that's interesting. And also reassuring because I worry about my son but I exclusively breastfed him for 6 months so at least I know I've done what I can to try and reduce the risk of him having an onset of T1 later on

My paternal grandfather died from complications of diabetes (type of diabetes unknown), my paternal grandmother has type 2, my dad and his sister have type 2, myself and my little cousin (from my dad's side) have type 1. My mum's cousin had type 1 too. I have a feeling my trigger may have been...

Hi everyone, I've had a bad today in terms of fatigue. I've literally wanted to sleep all day. Struggled to play with my 19 month old son. My legs and arms feel like jelly. But the weird thing is my bloods are completely fine (between 4.9-8.2). I've done nothing out of the ordinary that could...

Ok I'll ask about the pump and the libre. My snack does vary actually. Thanks!

Thanks for this. I looked into the dawn phenomenon and think this could be it. On the whole my diabetes is well controlled with my most recent HBa1c being 6.8% so I doubt I'd qualify for a pump?

Thanks this is really helpful. Yes I do bolus for the snack but I'm never sure if it's the right amount due to how unpredictable my bloods are. Plus I go to bed soon after so find it hard to test before bed. But it's reassuring to know that it's not the snack causing the morning highs. I've...

Hello all, I'm currently honeymooning and my morning (fasting) sugars tend to be pretty erratic, ranging from 6.5-12.4mmol! I've been gradually increasing my Levemir and am currently on 17U at 10pm. I don't often notice the impact of the increased dosages on my morning (fasting) bloods but then...

Merry Christmas!
