I know that feeling I have had many tears over high readings! I am now at a stage where I just think I cant control everything and im doing the best I can, and just hope for the best.

Ps good luck with your pregnancy not long left to go now!! :)

Thankyou! I've finally seen a diabetes nurse at the hospital where I plan to have the baby. She said my hba1c was 50 again which was really disappointing as my Libre is estimating 41 now! So I'm hoping it shows on the next lot of bloods. Went for an early scan privately to put my mind at rest...

:joyful::joyful: haha I bet they were like 'that was quick!' My nurse actually guessed i was before I even knew! As I had a week of really extreme hypos. I've been trying to chase the hospital as my care will be going to their diabetes team eventually so will all be linked with maternity team...

Thanks yes I was using the lift tablets for a while but found they work about the same as the dextro ones. I'll see if I can get some of the liquid! I am now testing on my meter ALOT more and as most of you said- the figures are alot more reliable than my libre post hypo. Had a reading of 2.9...

Hi I would also like to find out how you're getting on. I found out I am pregnant a couple of weeks ago and woke up to a 15 reading this morning so as you can imagine the panic set in. I've had spikes most days so far, and haven't even seen any midwives or nurses yet. Im also trying to walk alot...

Thanks this is useful to know. I have no obvious signs of malnutrition (weight has always gone up rather than down so I hope that doesn't get worse now!) I am GF now as my gp advised getting straight on it as i will have to wait a while for the official test due to covid delays

Yes my nurse said the dexcom is alot better than Libre for early warnings. It makes me laugh sometimes, I will test if i feel low- THEN the alarm comes up when it's already in the low 3s! :inpain: but I cant complain my HBA1c has been its best ever since getting the Libre

Thanks! Yes I can always feel a hypo coming on which is good as I find the alarms can be fairly unreliable on the Libre. Fingers crossed I've had no hypos for the past 2 days so hoping the changes in my insulin are correct. I will start taking my monitor with me again but just got out of...

Hello yes I am in the same boat! Been T1 for 25 years but the coeliac thing is very new for me- only had the call from my gp last week. I am out tonight for dinner and feeling pretty nervous about it as its so new. I am going for GF pizza which probably means my sugars will skyrocket :bored:

Ah yes so this is another thing I should have mentioned! So I was preliminary diagnosed with Coeliacs literally less than a week ago (waiting for a biopsy for the official outcome) which I have just learnt means you don't absorb nutrients very well? Plus the biscuits probably weren't doing me...

Thankyou! Yes that's for it to come up on the Libre. I don't take my monitor out with me anymore but sounds like maybe I should? Even if my Libre shows over 4, it often drops down again very quickly to the 3's (within 10 minutes) and as I said above, I can then hypo again within an hour. I'm...

Thankyou! Yes testing on a libre. After so long testing manually I very very rarely use my monitor now! The other issue I've had on occasions is even after treatment and getting the numbers up, it has dropped again within an hour!

Hi, I am new to this forum but have been T1 for 25 years now. I've found recently that its taking about 40 minutes for any hypo treatment to work and wondered if anyone else had this problem? I have tried apple/orange juice, dextrose tabs and sweets... on speaking to my nurse she said juice is...
