Hi, I’m 13w+6 so have just started the hospital care journey! I too have recently moved and have only just come under the care of my new hospital. My hospital decided to scan me at 8wks due to being diabetic, but my old hospital weren’t going to scan early, just the normal 12 wk dating scan. I’m...

Thanks so much Cathy! I’ve got my appointment tomorrow after my hospital we’re really supportive and advised on the benefits of getting it. As you’ve said, I think the risks of catching Covid and being extremely ill, both risks to me and the baby, outweigh the likelihood of the risks...

Me too, do you think that’s because we’re pregnant? I was a bit surprised given my hba1c is really good and I don’t have any other conditions or complications!

What are everyone’s thoughts about the Covid vaccine whilst pregnant now that we are being called up? Both my GP and diabetes team have said they are comfortable with me having it and after reading the research on the RCOF website, it seems to be okay. Keen to get other’s thoughts though?

Ah really good to know I’ll keep an eye out for bolusing when I’m a bit lower, thanks!

Amazing that’s for the info that’s really helpful! I eat a relatively low carb diet anyway (usually 30-45g carbs a day) and have to pre-bolus 45 mins before all my meals as I experience such a spike otherwise even when eating little carbs. That’s the reason my doc said I could try Fiasp as I’m...

Thanks for the article I’ll definitely give that a good read now!!

Hi, Looking for some help on starting Fiasp! At my last appointment my consultant said she’d try and get me some Fiasp to try for MTD treatment (currently only used in my area for the pump). She sent me the prescription in the post but with no info. I want to give Fiasp a go next week - what...

Ah fab thank you! My nurse seemed a lot more keen to start me on Apidra but I haven’t heard a lot about it and have only heard good things about Fiasp!

I’m sure to change my fast acting insulin on Friday as my novarapid doesn’t seem to be working probably and taking a good 1 1/2 to kick in. My DSN said I could try fiasp or apidra and she said preferably apidra as it has been around for longer and more studies etc. What are everyone’s thoughts...

Hi, I’ve experienced exactly the same as this! I’ve been on thyroxine for about 3 1/2 weeks now and my blood sugars have been so much higher than normal and I’m taking x 3 novarapid than normal. I usually have good control and it’s really worrying me :( I’ve upped my levemir by 3 units both...

Hi, Desperate help needed! I started on 50mg of levothyroxine 12 days ago and my blood sugars are high. I’ve upped my levemir in the morning and night by 2 units and I’m taking x 1.5 of my normal novarapid ratios and they still aren’t great :( I eat a relatively low carb diet as well so I’m...

Hi, sorry but for confirmation did you literally just ring and ask them how much they were selling the sensors for not on prescription?

All, Has anyone been given the libre on prescription in the Bristol or south Gloucestershire areas? I’ve just sent a long email to the two CCGs hoping to get a response ASAP! Also really keen to know any others that have been able to get the sensors for cheaper! I’m going to have a ring...
