Hi, I had gd with my 2nd child and 18 months later became type 1, I was monitored every 1-2 weeks at the hospital and saw whatfelt like every professional possible. I had to have extra scans but normal procedure for gd's at our hospital. I was told that I would be induced at 38 1/2 weeks at the...

hi, i also have only ever used the mio, i find that it looked much easier to carry a spare around than other inserters, All i can say is which ever you choose the pump is fab I started in feb with a hba1c of 12.5, went down in april to 7.5 and i have just had results of blood tests today that...

Hi, When you say just outside edinburgh, where do you live?

Hi, I can answer part of your question I had gestational diabetes and now am type 1 (2 years after giving birth the diabetes came back). Try and have good hba1c before you conceive you will be monitored like a hawk throughout and will be told to keep levels between 4-7 throughout, highly...

hi vikki, I'm in fife and got told that you can sometimes get one if the reps have given some to the nurses at our clinic. Maybe a long shot but have you tried speaking to reps to see if you can windle some out of them? (stranger things have happened :roll: ) Becki

Hi, I agree with what people are saying on here well done for doing so much yourself. In my area (nhs fife), we don't have access to any of these carb counting courses, we deal directly with the dietitian after a few food diaries and meetings I was given random food to prove i could work out...
