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...

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)...

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)...

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...

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...

Hi everyone. I will try and keep this short. I had a baby 8 weeks ago and when I was about 10 weeks pregnant I test positive for GD, however, I was always told considering there was a high amount of sugar in my wee (random wee test done) and my HBA1C was really really really high it's likely I...

Hello everyone. Hope you are all well. I'm still fairly new into my diagnosis (pregnant as well so I've been told I've got to keep my control very tight). I've been struggling the most with breakfast. Ok well I haven't in the sense I've found one slice of seeded brown bread with bacon and...

Hello everyone. Hope you are all well. I was just looking for some advice please. I have recently been diagnosed with gestational diabetes (although doctors think I actually may have been diabetic for years), so I am having to monitor my blood sugars and food very closely. I'm still going...
