    And if the c-peptide is not zero/very low? Does that change the diagnosis of Type1 from years ago? Thanks

    Help! Type 1 for 16years-antibodies negative!

    When were you given induction date please ?

    Tilly_S, I was induced a bit earlier last week than the 39weeks I was told because of reduced movements (backed up by CTG trace etc). Induction was lengthy took 4 rounds of Prostin gel but progressed very quickly then. My beautiful baby girl was born weighing a very healthy 7lb5oz . Best of luck :)

Not on a pump but...
