What is a CTG? I don’t particularly want an induction if my baby is at no risk, I’d rather let him arrive on his own in his own time. My research has turned up the same info as yours and OP but feels like a bit of a battle with my medical team! I’m wondering if I volunteer for this CTG as well...

This I my concern too! I feel if the risks are merely generic “diabetic” ones then I’d rather go into labour naturally. At the moment no one seems to be able to tell me why I, specifically, need an induction! [emoji17]

Well done!!! [emoji4]

Thanks! Ours is in 2 weeks so glad we know what to expect. X

Hi @claire91 Me and my husband are due to attend our PC clinic next month. Hope all goes well with your clinic. I’d be interested to hear how it went and what to expect. X

Hi All Looking for some advice on managing stress and the effect in bloody sugar levels... As you may know from previous posts I have suffered from burnout, depression and anxiety in the past. I’m keeping on top of things as best I can but in the midst of planning my wedding. Stressful at...

Hey Emily, Definitely not the only one feeling like this. I’ve been working with my diabetes care team and will hopefully get funding for the Freestyle Libre in December. How are you finding the Dexcom G5? I definitely find it easier with a CGM to monitor blood glucose levels. I find low carb...

Thanks Alison, that’s kind of you to say. I suppose there are a lot of changes going on right now and it’s easy to lose sight of that. I’m going to try look at it as me figuring out how I want to handle my diabetes rather than trying to get back to my childhood routine :)

Thanks! You’re right. This forum is a brilliant place to turn when you’re feeling lost or in a rut, I’m lucky to have a supportive network of people around me but there’s nothing like talking to people who really understand where you’re coming from :)

Thank you! I hadn’t found this thread appreciate all the help and advice from everyone. Sometimes just lose the way a little!

Thanks Knikki, I’ll try dropping my Tresiba a little. I didn’t know it took a while too take effect so I’ll keep my eye on that Appreciate the advice :)

Hi KK Thanks for your message, it’s good to speak with people who understand where I’m coming from. Just find it so frustrating that I managed to get through all the hormonal/stressful teenager years and now I’m old enough to know better and the consequences of not looking after your...

Hi All Just really looking to vent and see if anyone has any suggestions/recommendations for me. I am 24 years old and have been diabetic since the age of 4. I’ve had moderate levels of diabetes distress for the past 3 years and an ongoing battle with anxiety and depression. I know life is not...

I’ve had a couple of minor reactions, but I’m not sure if it’s from the sensor or more from the removal. I tend to try remove the actual sensor from the glue and then remove the glue in the bath/shower which seems to help a bit
