Congratulations @Lozj82 xx

Oh @Sarahkylie88 sending you massive massive hugs! Will keep everything crossed for you for tomorrow xxx

Hi, I can't help you but just wanted to bump up your post in the hope someone else can :)

Hi, you sound like you are taking it pretty well which is a good thing. I'm glad they are being thorough but I don't understand why the blood test you had yesterday will take a few weeks!? Did they say why? The 5.6 reading is confusing to me, did you test again straight after to see how they...

Most type 2's buy their own meter & strips & test at home :)

I know this doesn't help in the long run but, the packets of biscuits she's having in hospital - who is buying/supplying her with these? As @Emily101 asked, how old is she? I'm assuming she's an adult & lives alone/without her parents?

Same here!

Hi, with regards to going back to school you should be able to go in and educate the staff or your diabetes nurse might. I know your daughter is only young but when I was her age my mam gave me certain things to do myself so I could learn the responsibility of looking after the diabetes and...

Hi I don't have an omnipod but I do have a pump & taking a notepad is a very good idea as you do get a lot of info thrown at you, I didn't and had an utter meltdown when it came to doing my first set change as I completely forgot everything!! Lol

Hi, when I've had to use a pen I calculate in my pump bg & carbs and inject the amount displayed on the pump, obviously this wouldn't work if the pump wasn't on but that's how I've done it once or twice in the past. It is worth knowing your carb ratios as although 1:10 is a good starting point...

That's good @Sarahkylie88 are you still in the hospital? Hope you are being well looked after whether there or at home xx

I have a veo, never had any problems with it but would chose the 640 over that as its newer and has a couple of features the veo doesn't have. Also Medtronic customer services have always been incredible whenever I've a problem, can't compare to the insight & combo as I've not used but I don't...

Ahh @Sarahkylie88 massive hug for you Hun you must be so stressed!! I'm not sure how it works with fluid but from others comments I'm seeing that it can go up so try to stay calm & rest n hopefully that fluid goes up & up! I didn't have any issues with fluid n haven't really known anyone...

I clip my pump to my bra so I just thread it through my T shirt :)

Hi, I also have issues when putting my cannula in my leg! However I know some people that only ever use their legs, I think it's obviously personal preference, When I want to give my stomach a break I use my sides, I find it a bit uncomfortable in my back, but upper arms is great for me also...

Hi, as Sarah said, please don't let yourself get anxious it won't help you or baby. I had my baby at 38+3 but I have read many ladies on here getting induced after that, I think 38w seems to be the average but lots have done it at 39 & 40. I assume your diabetes team and consultant have been...

Congratulations! :)

Hi, you do your bolus on pump each time you eat, enter bg reading if it hasn't automatically sent to the pump, then the amount of carbs & it works it out for you :)

Hi @Finley02 if I remember rightly my lo was around 4lb 9 at my 32w scan xx

Ahh @Elc1112 she is beautiful! Love her name too! Sorry you ended up having a section but as you say they aren't half as bad as you expect, just be careful recovering as I ended up with a tear in my scar & an infection as I like to believe I am super woman and totally over did things! Hope...
