Hi Abbie, I'm so happy to hear your wonderful news - congratulations! Francesca is beautiful and what a head of hair!! Also, thanks for the labour info, is good to hear other people's experiences and what can be expected. Hope your managing some rest, sleep and long cuddles :) Much love to you...

Glad you were feeling slightly better. Depression can feel like a never ending fight. For me, my army consists of antidepressants (dose in the morning and dose at night), CBT appts every 2-3 weeks and a weekly run. I also try to sleep well (which can be a hard task with depressive symptoms). All...

I had the same issue Ailsa, and I've found the Novopen Echo is fantastic! As another poster has said, it records your last injection (units and how many hrs ago) great if you ever forget whether or not you've injected! Really easy to use and change cartridges too. My DSN requested it on...

Wow! So surprised by these results! I have to say though, I have been seeing my DSN every 2-3 weeks since diagnosis 16months ago, and not ONCE has she uploaded my data from my meter. I keep logbooks, and we use that at appts. I realised recently that I maybe wasn't the typical diabetic patient...

How are you feeling today @Rob1883 ? x x

Hi @JJO , sounds like you're taking on board all your nurse has advised and you're doing well! When I was first diagnosed, I was desperate to understand it all and every situation, but it is just not possible at the start, and it takes a while to build your knowledge up. If you are on set...

I know many have said they are fine swimming with it, but I'm a bit paranoid about it! I'm not worried about the internals of the sensor (I think it would take a lot more to become damaged), but more that it can feel like the water can seep in around the sticky sides and when doing movements in...

To be honest, I don't check it against my bg meter often - mostly if the libre reads a hypo, or reads normal but I feel hypo. I then continue to use bg meter until I'm back to normal levels and switch back to CGM. I know that they aren't always exactly the same, but if they are within a few...

Thanks very much @GrantGam1337 ! x x

@Hattonma - how are you getting on with your libre? I think you and I might have started using it around the same time - my second sensor is due to finish on Thursday. I love it, and being able to track my levels (which are a lot higher between tests than I had thought!), however still trying...

Congratulations @Ellie_Wilko ! On your pregnancy and your hba1c! That's great news you managed to get an appointment on Wednesday, it's better to meet with someone and get the ball rolling rather than waiting for an appointment. They will be able to tell you what appointments and scans to...

Huge congratulations @ohitsnicola ! Ellie-rae is lovely!! I hope you're both doing well :) x x

Thanks @azure ☺ I have 2 alarms set in the morning - the first to test and inject and the second half an hr later to test and make breakfast. I have slept a bit longer after the second alarm on a few occasions, and gotten away with it if I was 6-7 to start with, or end up hypo after I finish...

Hi ladies (and gents)! Just a quick note to let you know all went well at my appt. I'm a bit higher than expected during the night and still experiencing a huge spike after breakfast. The weirdest thing is that I'm now injecting for each meal and having no hypos! On a 1:10 ratio for breakfast...

Hope all is going well Nicola!! X x

Hi @claire1991 , sorry to hear about all your lows and how worried you are about your levels. I'm also sorry I can't give any advice, but you are doing great!! Hopefully with some more trial and error, the lows will become fewer, you will regain confidence in a new insulin regime, and your...

Wow, congratulations @Sarahkylie88 !! Fantastic news :) x x

Hi Jenny, I am also t1 and am 18 weeks pregnant. Although it sounds as though our pregnancies started slightly differently ( my husband and I were trying to conceive and so I was actively trying to get my hba1c down to the target range), I am now really struggling to control my bg levels. I'm...

Thank you everyone for your ideas and support, has made me feel so much better about everything, wish I'd posted earlier!! Due to everything that's been going on, with so many unknowns, my diabetic team gave me the Freestyle Libre for a week's trial, after which I am allowed to keep it. I had...
