I use sure T sets and love them but as mentioned above they need to be changed every 2 days rather than most of the others which are every 3 days so some people don't like the inconvenience of that. But asking for a few different ones to try out is the best thing to do when first starting with a...

Hi @Mercedes88 that doesn't sound good :( as the posts above have said could you maybe try changing hospitals or to your Drs surgery? You don't need 'care' like that from a diabetes team, you want a team that can support you and be there when you need them so your diabetes stays tip top :)...

Arghhh i feel annoyed for you Hun!! I think like azure said just nod and smile... but think bad thoughts in your head [emoji38] don't let it get you down, your bloods being great is the bit I would focus on! So amazing listening to that little heartbeat for the first time [emoji7] xx Sent...

Fingers crossed for you Hun, my friend had a scan a few weeks ago and they couldn't see anything but had one a week later and could see sac & heartbeat xx Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Good luck for tomorrow @RoseofSharon Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Those things happen if you don't take care of yourself, if you chose to accept diabetes and take good care of yourself then obviously the chances of them complications are minimal. I'm going to tag @daisy1 who can provide you with some info that you should have a read of and then ask any...

@newtonj argh it's a nightmare to get it right when correcting a high/hypo the only tip I can offer you is patience.. I constantly used to over correct either with insulin to sort out a high or with biscuit after biscuit to sort out a hypo, through pregnancy, I found a few jelly babies/small...

Have you tried lowering your insulin for when you're at work to prevent the constant lows? Obviously would be best to speak with your DSN to do this unless you're really confident to do it yourself. The suggestion from @catapillar to set an alarm during the night is an extremely good idea...

Ah @Finley02 not experienced that but doesn't sound nice hope you're feeling ok love xx Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

I do if my bg goes high, do you test regularly? Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Hi @newtonj Please don't stress yourself out over your DSN and the the few high bg's, obviously it's better if you don't have the highs but I think we've all experienced them during pregnancy no matter how hard we try sometimes it just happens due to hormones. you will probably find its a roller...

Hi, I don't think they can force you to hand over diabetes control and be forced to be on a sliding scale, someone will correct me if I am wrong, when I was in hospital at the beginning of the year i was allowed to keep control myself and carry on with my insulin pump but every hospital is...

Oh I hope your nausea stays occasional and not constant like mine did! It's awful, personally though the nausea was a bit of a warning sign for me that bg was low, not sure if you've found the same. Good luck for 20th it will soon come round :) xx Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Ahh I just saw this post, congratulations @RoseofSharon how are you feeling now? Hope the midwives have got back to you! I had to chase mine up a few times at the beginning! X Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Hi @Bobbietb I've been type 1 for 27 years and just had my first baby a few weeks ago. Like you I had a good hba1c throughout but my last growth scan at 36 weeks showed baby to be big, I was given another scan 10 days later and they found it was just a mis measurement. I was booked in to be...

Hi Dave, I would say the same as @13lizanne have a good read around as most things you need to know are on the forum but if you have any other questions or can't find something just ask :) you will be in a bit of a whirlwind for a while till you get used to it all but everything will soon become...

Hi @jemz24 like @azure I also have a meter upstairs & down, for me I've found it easiest to have the upstairs one in the bathroom and the downstairs one near where I make up baby's bottle as these are both places I pass often so even if I'm distracted and don't realise I should be due to test I...

Hi, stress/anxiety for me (and I believe quite a few others) raises bg. Have you spoke to your GP or diabetes team about this problem? They may suggest you trying CBT which could help if you arent already speaking to someone about your problems? Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Ahh how exciting @ArtemisBow I imagine the next few days are going to drag a bit, they did for me, but Thursday will soon be here! As well as the hypo treatments don't forget to take stuff to amuse yourself while you wait for things to start happening! Baby brain is a major problem for me, I...

Hi @Mercedes88 sorry I've just seen your post. I do slimming world and am type 1, I don't find it causes problems with my bg as long as I carb count and give insulin to cover what I'm eating, people tend to see slimming world as a carb filled diet, which it can be if that's how you chose to do...
