Right i'll try and keep this short but need some advice. Diagnosed in pregnancy 3 yrs ago (said I was probably diabetic before because my HBA1C was stupidly high), had my daughter and then 4 months later was pregnant with my second daughter who is now 1.5 yrs old. It was between pregnancies I...

thank you

Right long story short I've been diagnosed as Type 1, although I am probably Type 1.5 as i have been on insulin for over 2 years (been pregnant twice in that time) but i'm on still low doses of insulin. For the last week or so i've needed even less (think because i'm on a diet, eating better)...

thanks for the reply. i guess when i look at my diet it is a fair bit better than it was so hopefully i am prolonging my insulin cells. fingers crossed anyway. i think i just feel a bit of a fraud when i've been honeymooning for so long. i was told if i got pregnant again (before my second and...

Ok i'll keep this as short as possible...... I was diagnosed in sept 2012 when i was only 10 weeks pregnant (got told probably diabetic before as it was found v early on in pregnancy), more or less went straight onto insulin (tried diet and metformin for a week, but numbers were too high)...

My anti gad positive result was over 1000 when I was diagnosed in June this year as type 1 I was told normal was below 10 I think

Hello there.....

Yes the insulin is what I wanted.... I think. There probably will be a time when I'll probably regret saying that, we'll see. That's really good for your HBA1C. I'm really surprised mine is currently 52, hopefully it should continue and go down now. You've made a good point with regard to...

Hello everyone. Some of you may have read my previous posts.... long story cut short (isn) Was diagnosed with GD at 10 weeks pregnant, with a HBA1C of 105 (found this out to be 11.6%) so doctors assumed I was diabetic before pregnancy and didn't know. Also they said they couldn't diagnose which...

Hello everyone I will keep this short for now, but I have been diagnosed as Type 1. The doctor saw my readings and I've been put onto small amounts of insulin for the time being to see how I get on. Also I found out my anti GAD antibodies were 1329. Not that I really have much to add to...

I'm currently not taking anything. I was on insulin though during pregnancy. I generally have been low carbing at the moment (today not a good day) and still high readings. From reading through more posts I do think they would say diet and tablets first but as me and my husband want to try as...

Very true just wait and see what they say tomorrow. Think I just want to go prepared so I know what to ask if I have questions. I've given in and I'm eating a bag of malteasers at the moment.... whoops. I dread to think what my bs is before bed. I've been pretty bad all day to be honest. just...

I personally don't think my levels are good. Its been 10 weeks since I had my daughter and I controlled it very well during pregnancy (she was born 38 weeks plus 4 at 5lb 11) and I know this was only diagnosed during pregnancy. Since then my levels have been creeping up and up. I'm not on a...

Hey everyone. I was just wondering those who have been diagnosed as Type 1.5 is that actually the case, or have it been put down as Type 1? I know it doesn't matter too much as it's the individual who knows what treatment they need in order to keep their blood sugars under control, but I just...

All I can do now is wait to see what they say tomorrow. I'm hoping they can give me my diagnosis, but probably not. Can I ask, have you been given a clear you are Type 1.5/1 etc? Another thing with me and metformin (I think there are other ones as well) is that it didn't lower my sugars last...

Hi elaine, thanks for the reply. I've got a bit of reading to do as I found someone else had asked a similar question. From what I have read so far I think they will say it's Type 1.5. I've got the positive anti GAD antibodies and have fasting bs of more than 7. I think initially they would go...

Thanks Sunshine_Kisses I noticed after I'd posted my question. Hey Daibell. In short yes I'm not taking insulin at the moment (on some occassions i have when my bs have been very high - my DN did advise it's ok for me to do this) and I'm testing in the morning and before bed and sometimes...

I'll keep this short. I'm diabetic but currently the hospital is on the fence as to Type 1 or Type 2. I'm currently 26 (diagnosed when 25 and very early into a pregnancy) and now I am about a stone/stone and a half overweight (had my baby 10 weeks ago and I put on approx 2.5 stone) and was on...
