Hi Danii, sorry I know this post is old but I'm trawling the forum as hoping for a pump assessment soon. I also have one baby and would love a second in not too distant future. Just wondered if you know how they treat it differently to when on injections??

I have been having issues with my eyes and I get hand pain from unstable blood sugars. On a really good a1c I manage 7.0 I know it's not aweful but I'm still in pain. I also get really bad anxiety my consultant said she sees no reason I wouldn't be allowed one. Last year I had to go to a...

Thank you I tried the secratery but her answer machine said shes off until Monday! I'm not sure which pumps my hospital has to offer, but out of curiosity the ones with an integrated CGM, do the nhs supply the parts for the CGM part or is that something that has to be self funded if I want that?

I was due to be induced at 38 weeks but at my 37 week scan they said babies body started growing a little too big so had to re book being induced for that day! I had to go home and pack! It took 4 attempts and afew very long days but got there in the end and she was 7lb 8 so not bit at all

When I was pregnant they wanted me to test one hour after food and they want your blood sugar to be at normal range. Obviously you will then hypo constantly but as long as u eat small amounts it won't push ur sugars up. This is how I got 6.0 a1c throughout pregnancy bit was such hard work having...

I know I think my nurse has a bit of a thing against pumps she doesn't seem to care less if I have one or not. I see my nurse about once a month and remind her every time but it doesn't seem to work. I don't have an appointment I'm due my yearly consultant appointment but as I say it kept...

Thank you that is a good idea. Any idea where I actually need to address the letter to? I know her name but that's about it!

Can I ask how difficult it has been for people to get a pump? I've been trying for some time now. My nurses say I should be able to and I saw my consultant this time last year she put me forward for an assessment. Only a couple of months ago I found out this had never been put through by...

Sounds nice! How many carbs did you count for this? Just out of curiosity :-)

Thank you that link is very helpful! I understand alot more now about what to eat and what to avoid!

There was no flour in the pancake just eggs and banana. Weird I know but I saw the recipe the other day n thought I'd try it! I'm not much of a soup person without a bread roll but I'll give it a try making my own! How many carbs are in the seeded sensations bread? I eat hovis wholemeal and...

i haven't checked butter... I just assumed they all had no carbs?! The pancake was 1 banana and 2 eggs. I melted abit of butter on to give it taste and added a dollop of Greek yog. I went from 6.3 to around 9 I think. I noticed that the peak lasted longer than usual though I thought it may be...

I cook with olive oil. I don't eat many eggs but last week made banana pancakes for the first time (with 2 eggs) for lunch. I eat more green salad than veg but I didn't think to add butter it feels so naughty lol. Also I swapped from marg to spreadable butter. Or does it need to be blocks of...

Following this threat as I've recently started to reduce my carbs slowly and trying to add more fats. I dont want to lose any weight at all I'm just wanting to get to a lower a1c target and be able to maintain it. I have no idea what I'm doing just learning from what I see people post on this forum!

I'm not sure I don't really understand all these percentages I see people post. I eat a lot of cream cheese Greek yog n fruit and I add avocados in my salad etc

I don't understand this low carbing still! I try and follow people's daily diary page and I've been lowering carbs and upping salad and cheeses etc. I am left feeling soo hungry from it! How do people manage on such small amounts and still feel satisfied? My mid afternoon I'm starved!

How low is considered low carb?

Does anyone have a recipe for a cheese sauce for cauliflower cheese please??

No nothing different! I actually had a ryvita and a couple of units after 2.5 hours so I'll try again tomorrow with my chicken salad!

I'm going to attempt to incorporate low carb into several meals as I do this for breakfast with smoothies n have good results. Today for lunch I had a tuna salad. In this salad I had lettuce, spinach, cucumber, avocado, tiny bit of sweet corn, little bit of hard boiled egg, tuna and I put a...
