Hello, some of you might remember me i had a miscarriage at the end of Jan at 14 1/2 weeks (they couldn't find a reason) I'm now pregnant again and was wondering if there are any other T2 pregnant ladies on here? :D

Yes i was quite surprised when it happened at first and then it happened next month and i'd noted it down in my diary. keep a record and see if there is a pattern. Thanks for the luck, i need it :D x

I can't tolerate carbs too well, i find the wholemeal seeded bread is good for me (doesn't effect my blood sugar much) Also if i have fruit i have berries, they seem to have the least effect but as the others have said you need to test to see what you can and cant tolerate. I am trying to get...

Thank you for your reply, i think i've found out whats happening, basically when you have a high carb meal your pancreas then predicts the amount of insulin you will need for the next meal (based on the previous meal) so it then produces too much insulin (if you are eating a low carb meal)...

Hi all i have been on a low carb diet for a while (i've lost 4st on it) but felt i needed a break, i joined slimming world and put on 6lb in the week! :shock: So back to low carb today. I have had blood sugars of 4.8 (i know it's not that low) and i tend to be at around 5.3 on a normal day but...

Thank you for that, i breast fed my other two, my first for 8 months and second for 13 months but i wasn't diabetic then. The diabetes nurse was talking about colostrum banking but said the midwife would tell me about it when i'm pregnant. I had skin to skin contact with my first two as did my...

Thank you for that post, i went to see my diabetes nurse on Monday and she was telling me about babies that are born from a diabetic mum may have problems regulating their own blood sugar and may have to go in to scbu :( that scared the life out of me. I am controlling my blood sugar so well...

I'm really sensitive to carbs and try to stick to around 20g a day if i got to 30g a day for a week i put on weight :( **** those carbs!!!!

Also asda the best gluten free sausages are low carb, i use them to make scotch eggs :D

Re: omg just started having porridge and blood sugars rocket I can't eat porridge it sends my BG sky high, i don't miss it though, i have greek yogurt (full fat) with stewed rhubarb or bacon and egg, some times a low carb home made scotch egg. I've found that carbs send my BS all over the place...

Thank you all, fingers crossed a baby won't take too long! :lol:

:) I just had a phone call from my diabetic nurse, my HBA1c (did i get that right) has gone down from 6.9 in December to 5.6 on Monday, i'm so pleased she said its perfect for pregnancy so if i get pregnant tomorrow there will be no problems :P I just had to share that :D

It looks like i might be the youngest :oops: . I was diagnosed when i was 25, i have PCOS. My Dad is diabetic, my nan and aunt both died from pancreatic cancer.

On no that's awful. My nurse is good about things like that, she makes sure i've always got plenty of test strips and lancets.

Hi i'm not at my goal weight yet but i thought i'd add this as a sort of well on the way story! I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2006. The consultant ran some blood tests and found that i had T2 diabetes. I was put on metformin and told to eat a healthy diet. I put on about 3 stone because i was...

Thank you for all the advice. I have decided to continue with low carb until i'm pregnant and then i have been looking in to slimming world. It seems that you can eat fairly low carb but have some wholemeal bread too. I need to look in to it more but i think this will be the way forward. :D

I'm not, i'm going to water aerobics instead :D I'm on a low carb diet and have lost 3st 2lb so far, usually easter i would give up as i would have to have an easter egg but not this year! I even got through Christmas without eating chocolate or any other usual carbs and i hope by next...

Can i ask why you wouldn't get them on prescription? Thanks Bec

Oh really that's interesting! Thank you for replying! The diabetic nurse that told me to eat carbs is the one that runs the preconception clinic and looks after all of the pregnant diabetics. Apart from that advice she is very good!

Hi all i have T2 diabetes, i was diagnosed in 2006 when the hospital did a routine test after i was diagnosed with PCOS. I have been low carbing since October, i fell pregnant pretty quickly and low carbed until i was 11 weeks. I just couldn't stick to it after that! I did eat lower carb but...
