Hi there -my requirements also tripled in both my pregnancies. I tested a lot - including at least twice through the night. Don't get stressed as will make it worse @tigger and @azure given good advice. I was told to follow low GI diet (porridge for breakfast etc) and I kept to roughly same...

hi everyone so I've spent since nye in hospital with my 3yr old since she had a seizure (not diabetes related) and now has high ketones arrrghhhh! Not quite the new year I was expecting. Anyhow just want to say Thankyou to everyone over the past year since she was dx (when she had just turned...

Hi @marie85 i too had a v stressful job with my first pregnancy I finished about 33w (took leave etc) but had pre eclampsia and had to deliver early. Second pregnancy (twins) I was really ill (sick, pain and issue with my little boy twin) and got signed off sick at my 20w scan. I used to set my...

Hi I was diagnosed age 2 and my 2yr old was diagnosed when she had just turned 2. We are both pumping. I've got one year old twins so I keep an eye on them for signs.

Hi @shivles sorry I've been absent for a while. I can't remember how old your little one is but my 2yr old went on a pump a few months ago. She was discharged on injections as we needed to come home (she refused to eat in hospital and I had newborn twins at home). I debated for a long time...

Hi my 2yr old has the enlite sensor - it normally takes at least 12 hours to bed in and have reasonable readings compared to blood test. Obviously it's not going to be the same as its measuring the tissue and there is the lag. I normally find there is probably 1mmol difference. Have they...

Hi @shivles my 2yr old is type1 -diagnosed when my baby twins were a few weeks old. I am type1 too since I was 2 (a long time now!) so at least I understood. We are both pumping. I know it's hard especially when they are so little but if you need anything we are here x

Hey I was induced at 35wks and found it very painful but ended up with an emergency section after the second pessary. It took me a while to recover from the section and now second time round with the twins I still haven't quite recovered. Just be prepared for it to be a long process like...

(Big sigh from me) @azure i wish it was 9 months off for me. Unfortunately I've been left with a big stomach after 2 sections, twins and years of injections. Need to find time to burn it off (just not sure when!). Sorry to hijack post x

Hey Hun mine normally go up high in the morning-I think its stress with my 3. Then go down low. Do you give yourself a correction dose when you are 13? Have you got time splits on your basal through the night. I need more from midnight as suffer with dawn phenomenon. My daughters basal is split...

Hi @Jenie for myself and my 2yr old it would depend on what you are calling high? As I'm a lot more stable than her I would correct but with my daughter it would depend what she is and when she last ate and what she ate but I would probably check her through the night if I wasn't sure and see if...

Hi my basal and bolus ratios still low now and I do have swings. I haven't basal tested as with twins and a diabetic 2yr old I'm quite stressed out and need to eat when I can fit it in. The twins were up 6 times last night grrrr. I still express everyday. I think with all the hormones, sleep...

Hi @Finley02 i had pre eclampsia with my 2 yr old. Mega high bp, swollen ankles/feet and face. My insulin requirements dropped significantly. Had to go in everyday for tests and decided to induce early (she was prem) but ended up having emergency section as her heart rate was failing xx

Hi @Ellie's mum my daughter been having highs too. I actually think it's been the hotter weather that's done it. Hope the review goes ok x

Hi @sekv i had significantly reduced insulin when I was 33/34wks ended up I had pre eclampsia and my daughter had to be delivered prem this was a big warning sign. As @azure says please try get in touch even if it's just to speak to your consultant as that's a big drop. Just to mention something...

Hi @Jenie how old is Thomas? I suffer from dawn phenomenon and have most of my insulin from midnight onwards but I'm pumping. My 2yr old who also is pumping tends to drop overnight. Is he having one dose of lantus or splitting it? What did he have for tea? Some things can spike bloods later...

Hi @Sarahkylie88 ive had steroids both times. First time as I had pre eclampsia and daughter delivered prem second times as twins were being delivered prem. Yes they hurt a bit. You have two injections 12 hours apart. It didn't hurt as much with the twins maybe I was expecting it? It helps with...

Hey @Sarahstar82 dont stress! So I was pumping through both my pregnancies. My daughter who is 2 (also t1 and pumping!) - I had pre eclampsia and they induced me early with her. It didn't work so ended up having emergency section. My sugars did go up a bit when I was induced due to stress I...

Hi @Charisma_1630 i was pumping for both my pregnancies (2yr old and baby twins). I think with pregnancy anyway you are always reacting to changes in your sugar levels and having to adjust your insulin -well I was anyway. I'm not on the omnipod both myself and my 2yr old who is t1 too are on a...

Hi again forgot to say are you testing for ketones?
