That sounds great! Do you know whether she is type 1 or type 2?

Thanks Sterling for posting...I really like the look of the course. Reason why I asked how many hours is because I am pregnant with baby due end July/beg Aug. I will leave work beg May and really like the idea of getting into something 'educational' whilst I am sitting at home...the course looks...

Hi all I would just like to clarify that I am aware of the difference in low GI and low carb, I am not wanting to reduce my carb intake at the moment, though if this helps at breakfast and I can still get my calories and feel full then why not. I am looking for a low GI option in order to try...

Hi Jessie Thanks for the suggestions....I forgot to mention that I currently work in Kuwait in the Middle East, all of these alternative breads that i read so much of are not available here! I will have a look for Lizis granola though. I do like the cheese idea, but I would have to get a low...

Hi all I am looking for any ideas for a low GI breakfast that has worked for you and avoided those after meal spikes. Currently 20 weeks pregnant, I have been managing breakfast relatively well so far by just eating weetabix and milk (deemed the best so far after trying lots of other cereals)...

I have looked at this and it does indeed look interesting. Does anyone know how many hours the course is?

That should read pyschological not physiological....bloody predictive text!

Hi weezer Yes, it seems us type 1s are pre-disposed to everything, pre-eclampsia being one of them. I will do some more research regarding the aspirin. I have my big scan on the 31st march, can't wait to have it and hope it brings me some reassurance. At 20 weeks I am feeling good, got my...

Hi weezer Yes it would be great not to feed the insulin, but I am failing miserably. Like you say, it's a physiological thing, I can deal with correcting lows and having the hypos and I test 15+ times a day to catch them before they get too low....but I can't deal with highs, I over correct...

Congrats weezer!

Hi Anticarb Interesting to read your last experience and how you concieved with a HBA1C above 10. I am now 20 weeks and conceived accidently at 8.2...I cant tell you how much this is haunting me and so I was happy to read your positive experience. A question for both of you ladies anticarb and...

@ Lucie thanks for your reply. Its interesting what you say about your insulin not increasing until after 20 weeks. I am just 20 weeks today and last night my usual basal didnt keep me within range, bolus wasnt shifting it so I am wondering if this is the beginning of insulin...

Hi Geri Thanks for replying to my message. Reassuring to know your experience and that I am not the only one suffering the same problem....well I say problem, though my doc doesnt think its a problem, but you know you read all these sources saying one thing, and the exact opposite is happening!

Hi All This is a question to any T1 previously pregnant. I am currently in my 18th week of pregnancy, last HBA1C 6, blood sugars doing okay but do tend to be a bit erratic as expected and still suffer a lot of hypos (though managable). I can have some days where bloods are excellent, other...

Advanced Therapeutics do indeed do trials for the Dexcom 7...they offer a 2 week trial which I did, though I must say I did return it afterwards

I, sadly, agree with sheep. The best I hope for is to manage my type 1 the best I can and live a long life. I honestly don't believe we will see a cure for type 1 in our lifetimes, but I do believe we can still live a long life if we look after ourselves.

This is really interesting and I can definitely relate. I have been suffering from the exact same symptoms for probably a little over a year and a half now. I used to wake up quite often during the night with a pounding heart but I wouldn't just wake up gentaly, I would literally spring up, I...

Hi smaynard Thanks for your reply. The idea of playing around with basals after my meals really interests me as another poster also suggested the same, I might give it a go at lunchtimes as this is when I have the problem the most. Regarding the CGM...well I am from the UK but because I work...

Hi All thanks for your replies, dont get me wrong, I am not complaining, I am very happy with 6%, but since I am now pregnant my hba1c matters even more so was just a query rather than a complaint!

I like the way you explained it grazer and I am now trying to pinpoint my most terrible week in the last 3 months! Thanks for your reply Kevvy also! I think I will just accept my 6 and celebrate with a diet coke!
