Hi all, I'm now 20 weeks and 3 days pregnant and on MDIs. In the last week I've had some high highs during the night (15.6 last night!!) I didn't eat dinner until 9pm but levels were 7.8 an hour after eating. Has anybody else had this? I'm not sure if it's due to eating so late or just...

I was also put straight onto 75mg of aspirin at the consultant appointment and told off for not already being on it (this is my first pregnancy...) so it may be worth seeing if they can see you earlier. I think all type 1 diabetics should be taking it as it helps the placenta and reduces...

@slayer - I asked my midwife about taking pregnacare and the 5mg of folic acid and she said it's absolutely fine. The pregnacare contains very little folic acid compared to the pill we need to take and there is no harm taking more :-) I probably end up taking 10mg of folic acid on some days...

Thank you for your replies. I had my mum with me and she interjected eventually. I'm really struggling with my levels recently and don't feel like the dr was any help. In order to meet the 1 or 2 post hour targets, I then hypo. It just feels like I can't get it right. I'm so worried that it's...

Sooo I had my first appointment at the hospital seeing all the different consultants.. I'm 8 weeks with my first pregnancy and type 1. It was a hideous experience to say the least! I was told off for not taking aspirin and not having been prescribed it.. That was the first time I'd even heard...

I don't really take my insulin a specific time before food.. Sometimes it's literally before I take the first bite, other times it's a good ten mins before. I'll try and keep at a standard time to see what happens. Thank you :-) There doesn't seem to be a pattern with what food. I thought...

Injections... Typically I've had a hypo this evening instead! Ah!

Hey, I'm 7 weeks + 5 pregnant. This week my levels have been fine 2 hours after dinner then an hour later have gone up. I've taken correction doses then an hour later they are higher still. Has anybody else had this?

Thanks &Mrsass :-)

Eek! Exciting! Congratulations too! Although I'm all over the place today! Have already cried down the phone to my DSN! Thank you Amy :-) X

It was positive!! Eeek!

Have had lots of lows - lots of insulin adjustments! Period is due tomorrow (my pregnancy test says I can't do it until I'm a day late) so I will find out either way in the next few days :-/ eek! Fingers crossed but I'm thinking it prob won't be good news.. Thank you for asking though :-)

I personally find the my fitness pal app a fantastic database for labelled products and weights of fruits, veg, pasta etc. Carbs and cals is also great for the visual images :-) they have a book and an app. Hope that helps!

Thank you @azure :-) I'm probably overreacting but it's just such a difference to how my levels usually are that it made me wonder.. I think it's still too early for a test so I'll just see how it goes for the next couple of weeks. But good to know that, as with everything t1 related, it's...

Hi, I'm new to posting on the forum but have been reading for advice recently. I've been T1 for nearly 5 years now and my husband and I are now trying for a baby. We got the all clear in December with my hba1c and have now been trying a couple of weeks. What happens to blood glucose control in...
