I've just had my 3rd c section! They halved my levemir dose which I did as usual the morning of my section but no rapid as wasn't allowed to eat or drink before hand! My rapid ratio was set at 1:10 as a start and then adjusted from there. I imagine everything post section is the same as it would...

I had another appointment with the consultant today who didn't realise how much I have had to reduce by whilst still having hypos! I've gone from 20 units am and 22 pm to 8am and 14pm! They've brought my section forward to Friday as although the scans and blood flow are fine, she said I'll then...

Just an update incase anyone looks back on this... hypos got progressively worse as last week went on so got admitted over the weekend for steroids. Have a scan tomorrow morning followed by a consultant review who's is going to decide whether we call it a day and bring things forward to Thursday!

I'm so so sorry for your loss and cannot imagine the pain you are feeling. I was really hoping that if possible you could give me some more details leading up to the sad loss of your angel? I'm 34+5 and since Sunday have been constantly running very low for me. My daily average has gone from...

Since Sunday evening my bloods have been running very low for me with my daily average going from around 8 to 4.7. I've been unable to raise hypos and have not had my usual post meal spikes! Saw the midwife today and all her checks were fine luckily. I'm using the freestyle libre so decided...

I was in for 6 days with my first - 4 days for induction and then 2 for csection recovery. With my 2nd I went in for 2 days for steroids then section on the 3rd, home on the 4th!

I'm so so sorry for your awful news and hope you have all the support you need xx

I understand first hand how worried you must be feeling! I have 2 lovely babies from planned pregnancies with very stable hba1c's. I had a surprise pregnancy a couple of months ago and again like you were told all of the worries about baby, miscarriage etc. It really is a scary time but I just...

Lows are common in early pregnancy and through the first trimester I always have to change my ratios and doses! My team always say lows are just as dangerous as highs as just like us, baby needs sugar for brain development apparently. I have no hypo awareness so don't feel anything until I'm...

Do you have any idea how far along you are? I was in a similar situation, found out I was pregnant and hba1c was 9.4. They said that it would be a huge concern for the pregnancy if it was over 10 - do you know what your hba1c is? Now you know, you can really concentrate on getting your sugars...

Same boat as you! I found out at 7 weeks that I was pregnant and my hba1c was 9.1! Anyway I'm now completely back on it and trying my best to get my sugars under control. I saw my midwife Saturday for my booking in appointment and she did my bloods again which included hba1c and found out...

And to you! Keep us updated xx

Ohhh congratulations! I went for a private scan a couple of weeks ago and turns out I was only 7 and a half weeks rather than the 11 and a half I thought based on dates. Everything was ok and baby had a strong heartbeat. Went for my scan at epac last week and growth had continued and...

This is my 3rd pregnancy and with the other 2 I found out at 4/5 weeks and had at least 2 scans by this time so it's just the fact I'm now so far along and literally have no idea what's going on and whether everything is ok [emoji30] I can't believe I allowed this to happen and I was so stupid...

I went to the docs on Friday for a "telling off" about my poor effort to control my diabetes since having my daughter 9 months ago. Whilst there I mentioned I sometimes miss a period however was now missing a second and after a test it was confirmed I was pregnant. Based on dates I am around...

With my 1st hba1c was around 35-40 and he was born at 37+4 at 6lb 6oz and with my second hba1c was around 45 and she was born at 37+2 weighing 7lb 3oz! I'm sure if there's any concerns they'll do extra growth scans and intervene if necessary x

Omg I was a whale [emoji228] in both my pregnancies! I would like to put it down to insulin but the fact I ate like a horse probably didn't help either [emoji85]

They advise you take it in the months leading up to conception as it's the most crucial in the first 12 weeks. I would say that Wednesday shouldn't be a problem if your still early in the pregnancy xx

Yes I took both and they said it was fine :) Congrats x

I put all the syringes in a lunchbox and then once at the hospital it was taken from me and put in their freezers :)
