Thank you for your reply Spiritosl & sorry for not replying sooner. Unfortunately I miscarried just over a week ago, so I’ve been avoiding this thread just found it a bit difficult. But thank you so much to everyone for the replies, I really appreciate you taking the time. Hopefully I’ll get to...

Thank you so much for this info eabhamurphy!! I’m like you - I like to have as much info to hand as possible - that way I can prepare (mentally & emotionally) for what’s in store & plan all different contingencies, get ideas etc. I’ve now contacted the comm midwives etc, so first few steps are...

Thanks Notorious, been getting quite stressed and frustrated at my sugars & worries sick about the damage and it can be doing! So reassuring to hear everything turned out well for you! [emoji4]

Thanks Eabhamurphy. I’m on pump therapy (have been for 3.5 years) and have just started with the Dexcom at the end of December, so I can be a bit more proactive when I see my sugars dropping/rising & can treat a hypo before it becomes a hypo so hopefully that will reduce the risk of losing...

Thank you Ellie! It’s reassuring to hear (well read). I’m really lucky to be in the position of having a Dexcom CGM (self funded). Although I don’t make treatment decisions without checking my sugars manually, it really helps to spot the patterns. The issue for now is there is no pattern, so...

Thanks for the replies. [emoji4] we’re still shocked having had a negative result first time round! No, I didn’t notice any other symptoms. Just decided to “pee on a stick” seeing as we were TTC. I’ve been on hormonal contraception since my early teens due to severe cramps during my periods, so...

Hi all. We’ve been planning pregnancy for a few months (self funding Dexcom to help with sugar control etc). First pregnancy test was negative, thought nothing of it as it was out first month TTC. But my sugars have been very unpredictable this past 5 days, and I’m probably about a week late...

Thanks for the replies guys. I did go back to my old treatment. I was just curious... Cheers

Hi guys. It might just be me that has had this issue, but I wanted to ask about something which has been playing on my mind this past few days.... I started using Gluco-tabs for hypos a couple of months ago. I used to use the dextro ones, or juice, but found the packaging & refillable nature...

Thanks @Flowerpot :) Im sorry to hear about your sight loss. That must've been really hard going. And I can't imagine how scary it must be to lose your hypo awareness. because my poor control always left me with high sugars, it is something I've never had to deal with, but it does concern me...

Many thanks for your replies @Chas C and @Flowerpot Apologies for not replying sooner, but I have just got home from hospital following my second severe hypo in a week. In 21 years I have only had 2 like this previously, the first a few months after diagnosis and the second about 15 years ago)...

This has probably been asked (several times!) However, here goes..... I am starting on a pump in about 2 weeks & I've been reading up about it & have read a lot about CGM. People saying what a huge difference it can have on your control & how much it stabilises bg swings (which has been shown...

I'm so grateful that there are people like Ed Damiano in a position to research/develop such technology. Being so closely connected to diabetes has given him a personal understanding of the daily needs & problems we diabetics (& our familys) face. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

That's when I started playing, although I faffed about on my other half's account for a bit before tbc. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Ah, a vanilla player! Those were the days! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I'm guessing you're a gamer too! Must admit I'm a bit of a fickle player, having horde & alliance toons! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I found making a new post helped get rid of the message and give you 100% completed. ☺ Sent from the Diabetes Forum App
