Thank you all! Seems I was a bit too cocky as I had an 18 yesterday for the first time in months!! Gave me quite a fright! Have to remember to take every day as it comes I guess.

Hi ladies, I am now at week 18 and was expecting my insulin requirements to start increasing. I am still in the reduced amount of insulin that I have been on since the start and still having occasional (once every day or two) lows so definitely no need to increase my basal. At what point did...

I thought the same. 12 years on the pill plus diabetes, surely this is going to take ages... 36 days later I was taking a test to confirm I was pregnant! I thoroughly recommend ovulation strips. I thought I would ovulate around day 14 like most people, turns out I didn't ovulate until day 21 of...

Savoury. Savoury. Savoury. I had to eat little and often and steer clear of any strong smells. Also, don't have too much in the evenings, even if you think you can. So hard to be excited when you feel so awful all the time! Hang in there, I am 14 weeks now and suddenly back to "old me"

I am 14 weeks now, due end of April, is a bit behind you all but good to see what lies just ahead!

Sort of related question - how often did you get your Hba1c checked once you were pregnant? I had mine done on the day I found out I was pregnant (4weeks) but not again since and I am now 12 weeks.

I have recently completed the DAFNE course - Dose Adjustment for Normalised Eating. The name says it all really, the idea is that you can eat what you want (within reason) and adjust your insulin to match. I have had T1 for 18 years and over time you work out what works for you. Certain foods...

I posted about this the other week because I was freaking out about the same thing! I am 12+3 and have put on 6lbs. It felt like much more a few weeks ago but I think that was mainly bloating (some evenings I looked 5 months pregnant!). I am hoping now that the morning sickness has eased up, I...

Golly, surely only 3lbs is not much?!? I think I have put that on already!

Thank you catherinecherub !

Thanks. I am on levemir and humalog. I have dropped my background insulin already but maybe I need to go further. I have had over 50 hypos in the last month! It seems such a delicate balance - sick of eating but at the same time, afraid to take the risk of doing less insulin and ending up high...

Hi ladies, I am a T1 8wks +1, other than a small blip of high BSLs, I have mainly been having a lot of hypos and generally find myself eating up to my insulin a lot. Also, I have had pretty bad nausea so have definitely been craving salty greasy foods that I haven't eaten in years! I have...

Hello all, I am sure that there have been plenty of similar posts but I am feeling quite alone and frightened and would love some advice. Prior to getting pregnant, my HbA1C was 6.6 with very few lows or highs, largely based on a low carb diet. Since morning sickness has kicked in, I have really...
