Hi everyone, Anyone else been pregnant and everything been fine but not “felt” pregnant? I am 5.5 weeks so obviously very early but I don’t feel any different (other than rather tired and grumpy!). I don’t have sickness or painful boobs etc. I know I should be grateful but I am just awfully...

Hi @potlots, I’m too in early pregnancy and just worrying at the moment as other than feeling tired and perhaps being slightly hormonal, I don’t really have any symptoms. How are you feeling? Have you had any scans or anything yet? Xx

To clarify T1D insulin controlled. I think it is NHS guidelines (certainly for T1 in any case).

Thank you @Ellie_Wilko & @BAZ-ANDREWS -reassuring and helpful...exactly what I needed! Xx

Thanks @rom35, what sort of meals do you have? Just after some more ideas really!

Hi. I’ve found out I’m pregnant after a missed miscarriage last year, so I’m excited but naturally full of anxiety not wishing for the same thing to happen again. I was just wondering what foods people were eating to manage the 7.8mmol reading 1hr post meals? My hba1c is below 6% so my sugars...

Hi all, I had a missed miscarriage in October, which was put down to being “one of those things”. I had to have a small op and after the bleeding stopped my husband and I decided we would start ttc again. So far, to no avail, but these things take time. I guess I am reaching out to see if...

Wow thank you all so much for your replies- it's so hard in the early days when you aren't telling anyone so all the questions just go in to Google, which can be a minefield! I can't be certain of dates at the moment but I think I am about 4 weeks, so still early days. I'm hugely worried that...

Hi everyone, So, it would seem I am pregnant - really early days so trying not to get carried away and still can't quite believe it! However, I was just wondering what the process is once you've found out? I'm Type 1 diabetic, have phoned my Diabetes dept and just waiting to hear back from...

@himtoo @Fleegle @4ratbags @Scott-C Thank you all for your comments and positivity - I shall certainly leave it in and see...maybe it's a period of bad luck on the sensor front, since the one I had that did work was brilliant and I would recommend to everyone and anyone! X

Hi all, I have seen so many mixed reviews for the Libre, when I was offered the trial it seemed the perfect opportunity to see what was going on with my blood sugars all of the time and to see what I really thought of the Libre. As it happens sadly I'm still not much further forward, the...

Thank you @Tilly_S, what I was thinking too...probably overthinking, just with everything that they warn you about it can be hard not to! I'm so pleased that things have worked out for you now and your little bundle will be with you in the not too distant future! Wishing you every happiness xx

Hi, I am aware that your hba1c must be at a certain level to allow your diabetic team to give you the go ahead to try and conceive. What I am trying to understand is that as the hba1c is only a 3 monthly average would it effect a baby, i.e. If bloods were not at the recommended figure but your...

@Jen92' 44 is within the recommended guidelines. It is still important to speak with your DSN, since they will prescribe you a higher dose of folic acid and also ensure things such as your retinopathy screening is in date, so you are in the best possible situation prior to TTC. You've...

Well done @Pilzy-89 that's great! Mine was 60 last time, so I'm hoping mine doesn't spring back up....it's such hard work. 46 is amazing though, I've got my fingers crossed for you x

Hi @Pilzy-89 How long did it take you to reduce your HbA1c? Thank you x

Thanks @azure I don't qualify any longer, I've already asked. After this group I feel much more confident injections will be ok though!

Haha @Ellie_Wilko, nobody's perfect and everyone deserves a treat! I've not done any of the pre meal injections, but sounds like it may be something to explore to prevent any spikes. @ArtemisBow & @JBlaza thank you, yes I'm not eligible for a pump, I suppose all areas are different. My ratio...

Thank you all (@tigger @wannabemammy @jade88 @Ellie_Wilko ) for your responses. It is honestly so refreshing to hear from others that have managed/ planning with a pen. Yes I did dafne a few years ago and after a case of dka last year, seem to have had a wake up call and turned a corner. Find...

Thanks for the reply @azure Yes been to pre-conception clinic and taking the high dose folic acid, so now just waiting for the go ahead on HbA1C, last one was at 7.5% so not too far away, however I feel like the fine tuning now is going to be the most difficult. Everything I seem to read...
