And me!

Isn't it lovely when they get excited like that! My lady was delighted today when I told her my hba1c it was stuck at 8% for ages!! How are you finding the pump? I asked for it but they think I should wait until after I fall pregnant and give birth (if it happens!) would love to go on it though!

Are you correcting for the highs?

My hair had definitely thinned out. I read somewhere if you are taking a lot of insulin that your hair gets thinner!

Got my latest back yesterday 7.6%

I can't offer you any advice but just wanted to say all the best with the rest of your pregnancy and remind you that the health professionals love to dish out the horror stories but hold back on the happy endings! You've done amazing to have reduced your hba1c, you seem to be doing the best you...

It will settle @Sarahkylie88 hang in there pet! My diabetic nurse and endocrinologist came into me while I was in DAFNE today. They are so good they just wanted to see how I was even though I'm back at the preconception clinic on Thursday,!I really can't say enough good things about the team...

Was never on one but we were talking about it st DAFNE today.appearantly you still have to check your glucose yourself 3 times a day when on the cgm! Not sure how true it is!!

Hey girls how are ye all getting on? My update is I started DAFNE today and found out my HBA1C is 7.6% I'm so delighted I am determined to get it to 7% by the summer ☺

Thanks guys it was exactly how you said!I had a great first day and am looking forward to tomorrow!I found out my latest hba1c is 7.6 down from 10.8 last year and my cholesterol was 3.7 so I'm delighted!

Starting Dafne in the morning and I haven't a clue what to expect. Guess I'm a bit nervous because it's held 100km away and I'm not too familiar with my surroundings either! Staying there hit the week as it's easier than commuting. What should I expect?

Thanks for the advice guys! I'm starting my Dafne course tomorrow which is held in my clinic so I'll say it to them then. I can use another pen in the mean time. @claire1991 I'll try that next time! If it's happened other people I know it's not me!!

Hi Allana/diabeticpanda have you thought about attending a pre conception clinic? You could ask your current clinic to refer you. I go to one and find it so helpful. Im diabetic 15 years next month and am only getting a chance to do dafne now(starting Monday) thanks to that clinic. Hoping to get...

Hey Marvel_champ, I'd give the insulin a chance to work...

Does this happen anyone else? It only ever happens my Levemir not my novorapid! I went to take a few units before bed and even though I can twist the pen to dial up the units when I'm injecting it just gets stuck and stops working!! Very frustrating because I end up having to get a new Levemir...

@slayer lol we could be the same person! Nervous about starting Dafne next week!have to stay in a hotel for the week coz it's so far away from home

My problem is I love food so much, like it's not healthy the amount of **** I eat.im 2 stone overweight as well which they figure is causing insulin resistance. Like slayer my levels are scatty

Hi Mohika! I'm not sure it's the same for everyone but the pre conception clinic want me to get down to 6.8% before I start trying

That's great going @Scarlet10 well done on reducing your numbers!! I'd be delighted to get to that! [emoji2] hopefully this year will bring great things to us all. @RoseofSharon hopefully all the hard work will pay off, your obviously doing everything you possibly can!
