Hi, I’m T1 and had an implant for many years. No nothing, it was great. Moved into a shared house of women. Cramps, intermittent periods. The lot. Not a weird question. Depending on what time of the month it is does change your sugar levels. Just something else to put up with.

I’ll just throw this in there and I’ll have to get back to you with the results. I’m T1 with a T1 younger bro, diagnosed at ages 14 & 13 respectively. No known cases on either side of the family. I am currently pregnant with our first. My husband has a T2 dad and uncle, not T2 himself (yet?)...

Hi, has anyone got any insight into coping with being a pregnant T1 in a work place where it's difficult to deal with ups and downs? I have to be sat in a certain place at a certain time with full concentration on what I'm doing. Dealing with a high or low is difficult at the best of times. The...
