Hi everyone I started on a low carb diet with my partner just over a month ago in a bid to lose some weight after having my twins. I also am very insulin resistant i.e bolus ratio of 1:5 and basal of 28U in am and 34U in pm. I’m also on 2 metformin tablets a day. I’ve not lost any weight at all...

I’d love to test that much in a day, but I’m not able and I desperately want the libre because I’m not able to test that often so have no idea of my blood. I have 7 month old twins and since they were born my bloods have gone downhill because these two are so hard to manage and my levels are...

I didn’t have one but a diabetic friend of mine who lives in the next area over had it done. It depends on the area I think. I asked about it as I wasn’t offered one and she was, and I was told they didn’t do them unless there was concern like condition in the family, or if you had a high HbA1C...

Just to give you an idea about the injection side from my personal experience, I injected all the way through my pregnancy. My consultant offered a pump if my control wasn’t tight enough, but I managed to keep it tight and near the end, about 34 weeks, my HbA1C was 5.3% from 7.1% at the start...

Hiya This happened to me at about 35/36 weeks and they ended up bringing my induction forwards a week. Had my appointment on the Friday and was induced on the Monday. Congratulations on your delivery! Good luck! X

That’s ok! It’s nice to talk to other people in my situation, I can’t imagine it’s very common. That’s another thing is when I have my antenatal appointments at the hospital, I go to the diabetes clinic rather than the twin clinic obviously as diabetes is more important, but consequently I...

Hiya! Yes very very pregnant now, 35+3 and the size of a small whale! I did hypo a lot yes, and still do occasionally, so much so I had to split my basal dose and do twice a day. I must’ve drunk over 100 small juice cartons this whole pregnancy for hypos [emoji848] One thing I would say is I...

It’s so refreshing to hear all these answers! I’m really feeling the pressure to maintain my BGs at the moment. I’m 34+4 weeks pregnant with twins and the pressure of keeping my blood within range on top of all the pains and sickness and aches is so tiring [emoji17] Getting a higher reading then...

ACR is the abbreviation for Albumin Creatinine Ratio. It’s a measure of how well your kidneys are functioning. For your results you should’ve got a number back which is your ACR in mg/mmol

Hiya, congratulations by the way! I’m a T1 currently 26+4 with twin boys and I’ve been on aspirin since probably week 12 as prescribed by my consultant. Low dose 75mg is ok I believe. I’ve noticed my blood pressure is better in pregnancy than pre pregnancy from taking it. 75mg is a very low...

Hello everyone So I put it down to baby brain but, I split my Levemir 24U at 9am and 28U at 9pm. However in stupidity did my 28U this morning so and extra 4units than normal. Is there anything I should do? Thanks everyone!

Ah I see, fingers crossed for you! I bet it's frustrating [emoji17]

Do you give it a few days to settle? I've found if I change my Levemir dose, it takes a few days before I'll notice any changes, if any. [emoji4]

Haha! Yes spoke too soon! They've settled now, I had to split my basal dose to get them to stop and it's worked a treat! Xx

You'll be very well looked after I can assure you so don't worry! I'm pregnant at the moment and it is tough, lots of testing but it's going to be very worth it! I got pregnant by accident and my HbA1C was 7.1% but now 4 months in is down to about 5.8% through lots of testing and plenty of...

Personally I was the opposite. At about 7ish weeks I had to drop my basal by about 1/3 and suffered with frequent hypos all night. However everyone is different and I've found that insulin needs can change within a matter of days! Congratulations with your pregnancy! X

It's a tough battle for sure! I cried the other day when the doctors got my prescription wrong! So silly! I'm 18 weeks currently!

Possibly I took too much insulin, I would agree it was probably too much bolus since it was so soon after

Yes that's probably the best idea, I just worry eating too much will send my bloods up which will hurt baby :( it's an emotional rollercoaster at the moment
