Had my hba1c done today, nurse marked it urgent and I will have the results back around lunchtime tomorrow. Since I heard that I was having little panic attacks all day until I thrashed it out at the gym and finally broke down to my poor husband after. Diabetes can me mentally challenging at...

@pilzy I'm not holding out much hope, too many highs thinking I'll have to give up my gym membership to afford it but these are first world problems! I realise how lucky I am to be getting one! I'm back at clinic 13th of July, the professor wants to see me! This makes me scared haha

Good lucky @Amy.W! Exciting times just to be even told you can go ahead.im dying to hear those words in 2 weeks! Found out yesterday that the hospital chose 10 diabetics to give a freestyle libre, and I got chosen from the pre pregnancy clinic! Don't care how expensive this is if it helps me...

Pity you can't place it on the tummy! @noblehead do you mean you scan it and instead of waiting 60 mins you wait 24 hours and begin to test then? Sorry for all the questions guys!thanks for the advice so far!

I looked at the YouTube channel of a type 1 girl that's on here, @T1DSarah and she explains it very well. Her first sensor started to unstick after a few days so she showed a tape she got from Amazon that kept it in place. The more I read of all your experiences the more excited I'm getting. T1...

Wow thanks for all the responses everyone I'm really glad I asked now! My best friend from school who I also work with it getting married to my husbands brother so people from my childhood, my workmates and my in laws are the majority who make up the wedding guests and all know about my diabetes...

I have just received a phone call from my care team saying that I have been chosen from my clinic to be trained on how to use the Libre. Has anyone any experience with this as I'm reading mixed reviews? I realise the strips are expensive and some people complained they didn't get the full 2...

Massive congrats @RoseofSharon! I'm so happy or you! Take this time to enjoy your fantastic news! Also it's your own business who you tell and in what way so don't worry about that! Delighted for you! Xxx

Thanks for the reply guys, I am trying to lose weight but training hard at the moment so I figure a small portion won't do me any wrong!

Are peanuts like dry roasted ok to eat on lchf? I'm fairly new to this

When I went to alton towers I brought lucozade with me and checked my levels regularly to make sure I wasn't about to hypo on the rides!be prepared for alot of waiting in queues and if the weather is anyway hot this can bring on a hypo too. Enjoy it!

Ah @Postitnote your allowed a moan!it sounds like very hard work and I feel awful sorry for you! Hypos are exhausting as it is, not to mind during a pregnancy! I hope they ease off a little for you soon xxx

Its a waiting game @RoseofSharon but fingers crossed you get good news! Amy.W how were the steroid injections did they hurt? Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

I go to alot of concerts etc and always take lucozade with me explaining I'm diabetic at the front gate showing my I'd card if necessary. If they tell me I can't bring in my lucozade I point blank refuse to toss it! They usually give in! Sometimes they will only ask me to take the cap off and go...

Fingers crossed it happens quick for you! It's bloody hard work! Good on you :) Hope the steroid injections sort you out I'm supposed to be back at the preconception clinic next Thursday but because I'm not having having an updated a1c until July I don't know if there's much point in me going...
