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 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...

My community midwife sent me for an unplanned growth scan 2 weeks ago (32weeks + 4) because my stomach measurement was measuring 2 weeks ahead. At the scan they found the baby had a larger stomach and was on the 92nd% but because it was still in the target range weren’t overly concerned. I...

I’m type 1 diagnosed 4 years ago age 21. My 17 month old son was “playing” with my finger price earlier and accidentally did it on his finger. As my monitor was there I thought why not test and his blood was 8... I immediately did it again on his heel this time and got a reading of 5.8 so it may...

I’m currently 29 weeks pregnant with my second baby and for the last couple of weeks my bloods have been a lot high than usual despite upping my carb ratio and levemir dose. For example, I used to go low in the night if I went to bed any lower than 10 but recently I’ve been waking up around 8...

I had a failed induction resulting in an emergency csection in December 2016* and am now pregnant with baby number 2 due July... I’ve got a midwifes appointment tomorrow to discuss my birth plan and I really don’t know what to do. Part of me would rather get it over and done with and go for an...

So I missed my period this month which has never ever happened! My husband and I weren't actively ttc and were being careful as with every month but I did have some strange goings when I was due my period which on googling are an early pregnancy symptom. I have done several tests which were all...

Hi everyone, I can't believe I'm saying this already but in just 10 days time I'm scheduled for an induction at 37 weeks and am beyond excited! I was wondering what everyone's experiences have been after delivery? How long did you have to stay in hospital? What checks do they do on you/baby...

I'm currently 18+3 weeks pregnant and so far, my insulin requirements have been about half of what I was pre-pregnancy. I was just wondering in others experiences when this started to increase?

So since being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 2 years ago, I've been using the GlucoMen LX plus meter. I've just started carb counting properly and have been given an Accu-Check Aviva Expert and am shocked at the difference in readings I'm getting from both monitors. Yesterday for example, I...

So, I got a BFP on Tuesday and couldn't be any happier albeit very very scared! I went to see my doc on Wednesday who has referred me to the high risk clinic and diabetes specialists but was just wondering how long it took for someone to get in contact with all you other mummy's/mummy's to be...

I never really do many injections in my legs but when I do, I'm really resistant to insulin. This only seems to be novo rapid though, my levimir is fine... Is there anything I can do to change this as I'm conscious that I need to keep rotating sites! Any suggestions would be much appreciated :)

Just a quick question... My readings have been a steady 6 in the morning for the past couple of months however for the past week or so, they've been between 9-10! Should I wait and see if it evens out again or start upping my basal by a couple of units until it comes down? I'm trying to...

I was diagnosed with type 1 in 2014 aged 21. Albeit a hard adjustment, my younger sister had been diagnosed 6 years prior so I knew what to expect. Anyway, fast forward 2 years and I was in a real loop of not controlling my bloods as it was great I wasn't putting any weight back on. I got...
