Wow very interesting. I've been happy to be in single figures following meals. Better be more strict then!

That sounds scary! I hope you're feeling better now

Thanks a lot. They were pretty vague about it on the phone unfortunately

Oh and labour is a little different fr us. Happy to explain if you wish. Not sure if there is a way to chat privately?x

Sorry I've only just seen this! Yes I've been through it already. It's the same process as not being pregnant but your parameters for blood control are much stricter. Your bloods shouldn't go above 8 while pregnant. My HbA1c was 7.4 in March - not good! Trying to lower it ready for baby no 2...
