Hi @MrsMummyHenry my 2yr old daughter was diagnosed a few months ago. It is commonly know as honeymoon period whilst insulin still produced naturally. When are you testing your son for his readings ie before or after meals? What does he normally eat-ie low sugar/carb meals? Is he quite active...

Hi @sekv I often found I was low/hypo and had/have lucozade. Are you pumping? If so do you use the wizard-have you tried altering your ratios slightly? Try changing them slowly and see if that helps. It depends how sensitive you are -my 2yr old is pumping and I change her ratio by 1carb as she...

Hi I didn't actually set any on my pump -is this part of a correction wizard you want to do for? I used to adjust manually, it worked for me. 5.5 before meals 7.5 and hour after whilst pregnant with lots of testing. My 2yr old has a target for corrections and cgm on her pump but it drove me nuts...

Hiya just be careful with the heat etc and managing your sugars. I'm sure if you tell your friend she will understand-I was bridesmaid for my friend too and had to tell her early on but she understood. Hope it all goes well xx

Ps be prepared for sugars to plummet immediately after birth and lots of hypos x

Hi @ChiefScruff dont be too anxious won't be good for baby! I was induced the first time but had to have emergency section as I had pre eclampsia. I was really worried that my twins would decide to come early and I would go into natural labour. In the end I had a section at 35w with no sign of...

Hi forgot to ask are you going abroad on holiday? I told my parents and sisters fairly early and my boss and a friend at work (as I had lots of ante natals) and also wanted people to be aware as a diabetic pregnancy can be high risk-and should have a risk assessment done. First pregnancy I told...

Hi @Amy.W congrats! I think pretty much all type1s stress about control. Don't worry about the few drinks now it's done with. Are you on folic acid and did you do preconception? Targets are normally about 5.5 pre meal and 7.5 an hour after. I used to test all the time and set my alarm through...

Hi @ohitsnicola time goes super fast. I had a traumatic birth with my 2yrold (the one who is t1 too now)and she was in special care for a while followed by me having surgery and wasn't able to walk for 3 months. I went back to work full time to a very stressful job. Anyway once I was pregnant...

Hi @Loulou52 congratulations I hope you are managing to get some rest! (2.30am and been up feeding with one of the twins..arrghhh...the joys of being a mum...) Just be careful of those hypos xx

Hi @myarnton1 i have had the same. I was just called back more frequently for checking and referred to a consultant for review. I'm still on a more frequent call back now even though the twins are a few months old. Important obviously to keep sugars in target x

Hi @SophieOrman my 2yr old was diagnosed a few months ago when my twins were a couple of weeks old so it was very hard. I was diagnosed when I was 2 too. We are both pumping. Here if you need anything as know it can feel quite daunting and isolating at times x

Hi thinking of you today. Be prepared for those hypos! xx

Hi @Ellie's mum hope you had a wonderful day x

Hi @Layah2013 my 2 yr old is on a pump and I worry about hypos she does tend to get restless though when she has gone low. How often are you testing her? You could do to see when she drops and reduce her basal rate. Speak to her pdsn about it if you are unsure how to do it. My dd drops overnight...

Hi @Sarahstar82 thats just ridiculous. Do they not understand the impact of not monitoring blood sugars especially when pregnant it's hard enough! I would get your dsn/consultant to write to them saying not to limit them as its clinical necessity. Plus you have to test when you drive anyway. all...

Hiya @Sarahkylie88 i put on absolutely loads with my twins. I was in maternity clothes by the time I was 7 weeks. I was quite sick with them and in a lot of pain. I just ate what I could and managed to keep my sugars/hba1c down. I was so huge by the time I had them (at 35w). All I wanted was for...

Yayyy @W00sterz00ey thats good. It doesn't make you feel good when you are high so glad she had a good time too.

Hi @bobcurly can your daughter be funded for cgm? My 2yr old is about to go on this week but not the libre-one that links with her pump. Does your daughter get hypo warning signs? I'm currently deciding on the libre for myself but my first experience wasn't great as it came off plus it is very...

Hi @jemz24 have you got a baby chair you could put little one in after feeding? After my baby had surgery they recommended that (not a car seat) or raise the Moses on some books or something? I had white noise on for weeks as we also had bad colic. The joys!x
