Sorry to hear that @RoseofSharon what's the next step(hope you don't mind me asking and apologies if youd rather not say) I'm starting my Dapne course Monday 4th of April, I'm praying it helps bring down the hba1c

Sound advice @RoseofSharon !I've been looking at pregnancy forums for a while but took me a bit to cop on to this site, find it so much better as folk on ordinary forums don't know much about hba1c 's and the lark (which is obviously fair enough!) Spiked today after lunch to 18.3 , think I know...

Yup, I'm type 1, Irish and on both insulin and metformin

Girls, it feels so good to talk to people in the same boat as me!ye never know by the end of this year we could all be pregnant!I really hope so! It's so upsetting everytime someone I know announces their news.although I am genuinely happy for them it's very hard because I can never see it...

How you getting on now with it Amy? Starting the Dapne course in 2 weeks so hoping to improve with that!

Wishing you lots of luck @Sarahkylie88 keep us updated! Had hba1c taken again on Monday came back at 7.8% again but I was happy that it at least didn't increase! She wants to get me down to 6.8% and give me the go ahead at the summer. Fingers crossed! How's everyone else getting on?

As a type 1 trying to get my hba1c down so I get the go ahead to conceive, I often wonder, if I find it this hard to get to the magic number (it's currently 7.8%) how would I cope if and when I eventually do become pregnant? Your post has just given me the reassurance I needed! Keep us updated...

Thanks for the feedback guys, the pain is now unbearable I'm finding it difficult at work especially.gonna go to the doctor on Wednesday about it, I'll let ye know what they say

Oh God! That sounds horrific!!! Sometimes it happens that if I'm holding a phone for a while all my fingers stick and it takes a while for them to loosen out. I think I'll go back again next week I don't want to leave it go so bad that the pain is unbearable. Thank you for your advice hope it's...

Hey all! newbie here but diagnosed in may 2001. Experiencing pain with trigger finger especially on 3 fingers on my left hand. Find it worse on colder mornings! Have been to a doctor about it but not much was made of it. Does anyone have any recommendations for pain relief?

diagnosed 15 years ago, during one of my first hypos was staying at my aunts house, and instead of letting me get on with fixing the hypo she insisted I stick my head through an open window for some fresh air

Such a relief to read this I'm in the same boat sam. 31 years old, never could get tight control, dying to get pregnant doing the dafne course in April. Current hba1c is 8.3 far too high! Always feel very alone but reading this thread makes me feel better. I agree being honest is the way...
