Thanks yes I would prefer to do that unfortunately this is how they manage diabetics who want to get pregnant as the sugars impact the brain and spine development from day one so I need to be in really tight control. It is what it is and it’s all evidence based so I will comply until after...

Hi wonderful people I hope 2022 has been good to you so far. I’ve recently had my three month average reviewed and now have 6.9% versus the 11% I had before. Super happy. Due to being part of the pre-pregnancy club I need even tighter controls. So now I’m on long acting insulin levemir to...

Hi All I just wanted to give you a massive thank you. In a month I’ve dropped my 3month average significantly (from 11% to 9%) and I’m 80% time spent in acceptable range from current ratings. More work still to do. I could not have done this without the support from this forum. Thank you ☺️❤️

Thanks so much for the recommendation . You are right it is cheaper that way. Order placed. Thank you.

Thanks so much for the advice. I will stick to a low carb breakfast then and see how that works. The low carb snack before bed helped last night. Sugars were better this morning. I have also though gone from running to walking so I think the strain of running may be a factor. I would still like...

Wow @OB87 congratulations that’s amazing news and clearly what you’ve been doing is working for you. Yeh the thought of potentially going on to insulin scares me - at the same time recognise I would adapt as many members on here have. Wishing you a happy healthy safe arrival of your mini me ❤️

Thank you for sharing. I absolutely agree it has to be sustainable.

thanks really appreciate you share your experience. I am keen to test regularly to begin with so I can get a sense of how my body is responding. My consultant was happy with my recent ratings in comparison with my long term average so hopefully already on the right path. Thank you.
