thanks for the reply jus :D i think i should talk to my diabetic team about insulins etc as i have also been told that women have been taken off levemir before trying for a baby, i also take levemir. i know everyone is different but i just didnt want to seem totally clueless when talking to my...

i've been type1 almost 4 years & have 3 tattoos. i never experienced any itching or irritation with any of my tattoos. they scabbed over & peeled & that was that. every1 is different so i wouldnt worry!

thanks for the replies ladies. i was told by sum1 else on here that i would have to stop taking my novorapid because it wasnt safe, however you were on novorapid :roll: i guess i'll just have to wait until my next appointment on april 14th & see what the diabetic nurse & constaltant have to say

thankyou very much for ur reply lucozade! i'm so glad that someone else shares my views! i thought that maybe i was over-reactingover but since posting on here everyone seems to think along the same lines as myself. i have an appointment at my diabetic clinic on april 15th & i'm definately going...

thanks catherine :D

thankyou nigel :D i didnt think my local library would have a diabetic section but i'll be sure to check

i'm currently planning a pregnancy with my partner & i'm going to make my diabetic nurse & consulant aware of this at my next appointment in april. was wondering if any1 can recommend books for me to read or websites i could visit to get information on what to expect as a diabetic. i know...

thanks debloubed! i'm quite good at taking the odd tantrum so maybe i should give that a go :lol: maybe if i persist & try to wear them down they'll eventually give in & give me one to shut me up!

the thing to remember is that everyone is different, although pregnancy will cause some women problems, it works wonders for others, it can make you better as well as worse. try to relax weefredd, you wont know how your pregnancy will be until you're pregnant, try not to stress too much just...

theres no way my diabetic clinic will give me one, especially now funding for them has been cut & i just cant afford 2 self fund. its annoying because its not that there arent things out there that can help diabetics quality of life, there are, but most of us will never get the chance of trying...

at least you now have this forum weefredd! theres always someone going through the same thing as you & everyone is so friendly & open with advice

that must be horrible weefredd, i know some people experience things like that with the pill, could you not try the contraceptive jag or the implant to see how they affect you? i'm feeling quite anxious about telling my consulatant & DN that i want to try for a baby, just incase they say 'no' as...

thankyou carbsrok! really appreciate the information, no way could i ever afford that! no pump for me then :(

thats ok cowmigator! i totally understand how you feel, i go on the defensive straight away when people talk about diabetes. some people talk so much rubbish its unreal! i'm sick of people asking if i'm diabetic because i ate too much sugar! :evil: it just annoys me when some people refuse to...

hi carbsrok, my DN told me that if i wanted a pump i'd have to buy one myself & that it would cost me £1000. i was wondering how on earth she expected me to buy one with my own money, i have no idea where you would have to go to get one, directly to the supplier i suppose?

yeah i think it would be worth while going back to your doctor, the pill i'm on has worked gr8 for me, i've never had any problem with it. i'll be coming off my pill in the next few months as we're going to try for a baby, i'm lucky to have good control & good hba1c despite going undiagnosed for...

hi ebony, thankyou for your reply :D i really hope that you get a pump. The way your BG levels are isnt your fault, as you obviously look after yourself & dont want to have unstable BG levels. It just annoys me when people have bad control due to not taking their insulin etc & then they are...

the pill i'm on is called microgynon wee fredd, i've never been told that there r only certain ones that diabetics can take but i'm on a different one from you & havent had any problems with it

hi weefredd, i'm not trying for a baby yet,going to notify my diabetic nurse & consulatant at my next appointment in april. however, my non-diabetic friend has been trying for a baby for over a year & has had no joy. Her doctor recently told her that its due to the length of time she was on the...

thankyou hana :D
