    Any positive stories of induction?

    Thank you. I guess it’s hard to know. I can only assume my team will provide me with the best options for me personally.

    Any positive stories of induction?

    Thank you so much. I agree, labour is such a personal experience. I was just a little freaked out by hearing so many ‘horror stories’ of induction, needed to hear some positivity!

    Any positive stories of induction?

    Thank you for sharing. Glad to hear induction worked well for you, impressive job with just gas and air! I can imagine just wanting to get out of there and be home too.

    Dawn rise phenomenon

    I think it comes and goes based on hormones. The pump I use, Omnipod, is really discreet. I always used to wear it on my stomach and nobody has ever noticed it. I was able to carry on with all sports/exercise as normal. Mine is now on my arm due to my bump being in the way! Omnipod is one the...

    HBA1C

    I’ve seen so many examples of non type 1s having large babies, type 1s with great control having large babies and type 1s with poor control having average size babies and everything else in between! I’m no doctor but I’m starting to think there isn’t a huge correlation, more of a stereotype...

    Dawn rise phenomenon

    I’ve found my insulin pump really helpful in responding to those patterns, i.e if I’m climbing at 3am I can increase my basal rate 1-2 hours before the climb starts to help combat it.

    Any positive stories of induction?

    Hi all, I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and am aware the common labour routine for Type 1 diabetes is early induction to minimise risks to mum and baby. I’ve since realised this is controversial and have also read of some really negative experiences. Does anyone have a positive experience to share?

    Hba1c for pregnancy?

    I’d say don’t be scared but also do your best to get your HbA1c down to reduce the risks. I got mine down from 8.6 to 6%, got the green light from my consultant and am now 28 weeks pregnant with a consistent HbA1c and good control.

    Apples on a low carb diet

    I’ve found Pret a Manager do a nice apple and almond butter pot. I have it occasionally for breakfast and at 15g of carb, so far it’s never caused me to spike with pre-bolusing.

    Gin And Slim Line Tonic

    I’ve recently found this is one of the best alcoholic things for me to drink where previously I’d have a wine or vodka Diet Coke. I’m loving pink gin! I had one with a meal out last week... no subsequent low (only tends to happen if I drink more than one) and perfect overnight levels... shame...
