Hiya @jemz24 i had twins when my daughter was 22months - one of them seriously ill. Then 2 months later my daughter was diagnosed type1 so you can imagine what all of this did to my control dealing with everything. As always @azure has given some handy tips. What I would say is you have to put...

Hi @W00sterz00ey what is her carb ratio and normal eating pattern? Ie if she would normally have 10cho snack but is actually going to have 30cho maybe then yes some extra insulin. You could always see how much a cookie/cake portion is in carbs first? Just be aware of the timings etc as if they...

Hi you are very welcome. Take lots of extra snacks/hypo treatments lots of testing equipment and just be aware of your sugars plummeting once baby is here. Also if you breastfeed or express you probably don't need much insulin. I'm still not back to pre pregnancy rates and the twins are 8...

Hi @Kristina13 my 2yr old was diagnosed in Dec and struggled whilst she was on injections depending on how active she is (now on a pump which is easier). I've been type1 since I was 2 but I've been pumping for a few years now as I could never quite manage to get my sugars sorted. I've been...

Hi is this 20% based on you not getting it down further or based on if you get it down from now? How are your sugars through the night going? There are risks in every pregnancy and lots of women get their hba1cs down. Don't rush into any decisions just focus a day at a time and keep those...

Good luck let us know how you get on xx

Hi @Mrsass she is lovely. I told you the sleep deprivation is a killer! I was up 5 times last night although slightly different with twins. ... Have you tried hand expressing to get your milk going? You could try now it's not too late if you want? You can hire hospital grade pumps which I did...

Hi @Jd040767 as the lovely ladies above have already said it's possible to get your hba1c down. Ring your dsn asap for ante natal care though. The key for me through both my pregnancies (2yr old and twins) was lots of testing. I take it you are not pumping? I personally couldn't have done it...

Hi @Littlefootsy i was 2 when I was diagnosed and my 2yr old was diagnosed a few months ago. So different ages but hard no matter what. Have they put you both in touch with others a similar age to near you-sometimes they have youth groups etc. When I was at uni no one got it as I was the only...

Hiya @ACMH they should let you take in food and drink for medical purposes. I always carry a bottle of lucozade and glucojuice and then glucogel for my 2yr old. When I've been stopped before I tell them I'm type1 diabetic and normally ok xx

Hi I hope you get a referral soon. Can I ask are you treating him for a low blood sugar/giving some sort of fast acting treatment or food?x

Awww congratulations @Mrsass what a cutie. I've had 2 sections just make sure you look after you too hun as know how hard it can be. Keep hypo treatments right by your side xx

Hi @W00sterz00ey there are so many things that can trigger changes. Heat, excitement, stress, illness, exams, growth spurts. My 2yr olds teeth are hurting her and I think that's causing problems. She has been v v v high tonight-not sure why. Did change her pump so hope it's gone in okay. Will...

Hi well I had blonde highlights done at the hairdressers every few weeks during both my pregnancies. My hairdresser was due just after my twins and she was full blonde too and she said it was okay xx

Thanks @Dillinger they are still on formula (some prescribed) and not weaned yet so there isn't any need for drops yet. My 2yr old loves her vitamin drops but unfortunately didn't stop it happening. Ill have to read up on the study although there is 3 generations in my family of type1 so I...

@Mrsass will be thinking of you tomorrow. Ps did you decide to rest or get out?x

Hi @Gwelda my 2yr old was diagnosed a few months ago when I had very small baby twins with medical issues. I'm type1 so fortunately recognised the signs. To say I was devastated probably is an understatement. I've been type1 since I was 2 too but things are so different since then. I hate finger...

Glad you had a good time and some really useful tips @W00sterz00ey xx

Thanks-I'm type1 (since I was 2 too) and my 2yr old diagnosed in Dec. Both pumping. Thanks @himtoo will speak to her pdsn

Hi just checking her before bed levels. No signs of hypo. She still doesn't speak so sometimes hard to tell.
