I have to arrange my appointments out of work also as I wouldn't be paid, I'm lucky that I can work a weekend and have a day off through the week or do an early shift but if you don't have them options I think you probably will have to take it unpaid, as already suggested could you maybe ask for...

Ah good luck @Elliebug hope everything goes fine for you xx

Hi, I'll tag @daisy1 who will provide you with some info you will find really helpful, were you given a blood glucose meter? A lot of type 2's aren't so people buy them themselves it is a very helpful thing to have so you can work out what foods are good & bad for you, often when I feel a bit...

Hi, not sure if I'm posting this in the right section sorry, I started feeling unwell yesterday and knew within a couple of hours it was gastroenteritis, I know because in the last few years I've had it at least 2-3 times a year, surely this isn't normal? I know my immune system is weaker due to...

When I was on mixed insulin I needed a snack before bed. When you have lowered injection were you advised how much to lower it by? I would speak to her again if you are still going low after you've reduced it so she can advise further

Yeah I found out Friday it's a girl :) I think we all get fed with the horror stories and it's good to bare them in mind but don't obsess over them, everyone is different you just have to try the best that you can do, as @azure said its like a full time job! Stop buying tests it will cost...

@Juicyj what infusion sets are you using? I had problems with plastic cannula's when I got my pump and changed over to steel ones as the plastic weren't sitting in my skin properly and I was forever getting high readings after changing my set X

Hi Jodie, congratulations! don't stress yourself out we can't have perfect readings all the time no matter how hard we try, I'm currently 21 weeks with my first baby and get spikes which are very frustrating but I just correct it and move on as that's the only thing I can really do. All the...

I also think you should ask for your care to be transferred to a hospital as what your doc has said is completely unhelpful and as @CarbsRok has said above it will not fill you with confidence, you need to know you have a care team you can rely on for helpful advice! Good luck for tomorrow!

Can I just say though @amym06 when it does occasionally get 'pulled out' the thought of it is far worse than it actually is, I've pulled it out during the day and it just feels like ripping off an Elastoplast, I wasn't completely freaked out by the thought of it before I got a pump, it actually...

Forgetting it's not in your bra? Do you leave it dangle? [emoji23][emoji23]

Hi @amym06 as the others have said the adhesive is really strong so very unlikely for it to be pulled out, I am quite a restless sleeper but mine just follows me about as I move, in 2 years i have pulled it out once but it was because my adhesive wasn't quite stuck down properly, if I had...

Have you made any changes to your diet?

I feel like is gone pretty fast so far really, there is times when it's gone slow (especially when my sickness was at its peak) lol but then I feel like my due date is soooooo far away! I've put my years worth of holidays at work in over 6 months so that will help work go faster at least! Haha...

Yeah got a good look at her, she has become very active the last few weeks moving around [emoji4] there is a few names I like but nothing is really standing out to me at the minute I don't want a really popular name as I liked growing up & at school pretty much being the only Abbie but I don't...

Everything was fine at the scan @Cloe-1992 I thought I was going to be there ages cos they measure everything etc but I was the last one of the day so think they wanted me done & out lol xx

Seen as you all done so well guessing the sex of @ohitsnicola baby do you all want to have a guess at predicting mine? Lol got my 20 week scan this Friday! I've had a strong feeling since around 8 weeks that it's a girl, I've had a lot of morning sickness which has now finally calmed down, up...

When I go back im to see a specialist but still in the same place I usually go apparently it's not at the stage where I need to be seen in hospital by one of their specialists so that did make me feel a little better it's just the thought of if I need treatment as it all sounds so scary but as...

Aw I know how you feel @Vick22 my last check at 14 weeks said I have maculopathy (sp?) and I felt extremely disappointed in myself and didn't understand as I've not had any problems with eyes for a few years (once had slight back ground retinopathy but tightening my control reversed it) and I've...
