I am on the progesterone only pill? Could this have any sort of effect? X

Not to the same extent. My long lasting insulin used to give me a puffiness and the last 2 pods have done similar

I think my pump sites r ok. I have bruised lower down my stomach with the last 2, but I haven't used there in a while due to pain from my c section x

Thanks @azure. No, they haven't, I'm at clinic on the 7th of march and they will do my full bloods before then. I may ask when I'm back at the nurse this week. She did mention the possibility of metformin x

I've been diabetic for 19 years. I've always been well controlled. I went on the omnipod pump last year in preparation to become pregnant again. (My last pregnancy was ok but I suffered terribly with dawn phenomena so it was decided that if we wanted to try again I needed a pump) I chose the...

Finger prick* not Tibet!

How is his blood sugar tested? Is it a continuous glucose monitor of it is tibet prick tests. I have had a continuous monitor on for 2 weeks as I'm struggling with my bloods overnight. But I have noticed that sometimes it reads fine, but I feel hypo symptoms. When I have checked with a finger...

Thanks @azure. We r seeing the ob in Liverpool in January sometime so I will ask then. That's when we get arlos pm results too. Although we had a cause of death he had a rare condition. The majority of drs do t think it's genetic and that he was a "one off" and technically should have been a...

Thanks so much @Snapsy. It's genuinely the hardest most heartbreaking time of our lives! And waiting to even ttc again is just torture! J don't want to replace Arlo, he'll always be in our hearts, we just want a baby more than anything [emoji174]

Hello ladies, I don't know if this is ok to post, it's not really diabetes related, but you ladies seem to be the fountain of all knowledge!! It's 12 weeks since I had my beautiful Arlo, and 6 weeks since he slipped away in our arms. We are completely heartbroken, but I feel so desperate for...

Thank you [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️

It's with a broken heart that i have to let u know, Arlo passed away peacefully in our arms two weeks ago [emoji174] he put up an amazing fight for 6 weeks and 1 day and came so far in that time. He had an extremely rare condition which could be caused by an infection I have had due to me having...

Well we got as far as we could. 27 weeks and baby was in distress, I was 'contracting' but they think it was down to irritation/infection rather than labour, but with each one baby's heart rate, which they were unhappy with anyway, was dropping. He was born via emergency c section on...

Hello! I'm almost 27 weeks now! Had a scary few days last week where I was in labour and delivery for the night as they weren't happy with the baby's heart rate and there was talk of emergency c sections! I'm a week in from that now and things have stabilised (sort of) I had my steroids...

Congratulations X

Thanks for your replies, I've spoken to my dsn too and she said to increase my basal if needed. I'm ok, still hanging on! Nearly 24 weeks now. I've had a couple of scares in the form of bleeds, but we're still here!! Back in Liverpool on Thursday, so we will find out what the plan of action is...

Hello, As everything else involving my pregnancy is completely out of my control at the moment, I'm trying to prepare myself for what I can! All being well and if the baby has more fluid and we make 24 weeks, I'll be given steroids to help prepare the baby for birth. I don't really know what...

Sorry for the rushed message, battery was running out! *son not not and *do your best not so your best [emoji85]

Hi, I'm on the omnipod. I think I was on it about 8 weeks before I fell pregnant this time, but I was completely comfortable on it and confident in my own ability. I don't think u can put a timescale on it, as I think I was on it 5 weeks before I came off the pill, but I think if you are...

My mum is also diabetic (t1) and was when I was born... And I'm ok!! My little not is also fine! My sugar was so difficult to control during my last pregnancy! And my little boy is happy and healthy I had high sugars every morning which I found extremely upsetting and frustrating, my diabetic...
