Hi Taffy, thanks for your message :) I had my scan yesterday and it showed up as being 6 weeks and 4 days along! So still a few more weeks before i can tell people (although i think a lot of people have already guessed!) They said everything looks fine, could see baby's heart fluttering on the...

I bought "think like a pancreas" last week and i have read it cover to cover! some really good tips and interesting things that i have never known, despite living with diabetes for 24 years now! Have spoken to the midwife to clarify what she meant. Yes the consultant has said NO correcting...

I have now been advised by my midwife (based on what the consultant told her) not to correct my high blood sugar readings?! :crazy: that just seems insane to me, i can't just leave my sugar high and not do anything about it!

Hi KT Thanks for yor message. i'm soo glad to have found people on here going through the same things that I am! What you said about insulin requirements would really make sense. I think i am still in the really early days, which would maybe explain why i'm needing more insulin than usual at...

oh yeah about the pump, i have never ever been spoken to about a pump despite being told constantly that my hba1c is too high. i feel like my diabetic care has really fallen off since i turned 18. i now get looked after by a diabetic nurse at my doctor's surgery and i know they mean well but i...

i basically feel like my sugar is constantly trying to go up! Happened again after lunch, all i ate was a wholemeal pitta with chicken and some raw veg with houmous, did what i thought was plenty of insulin (based on the carbs listed on the packets!) yet went from 6.7 pre-lunch, to 12.6 after...

I was planning to talk to the doctor about a pump at my next review, with a view to getting my diabetes under control before trying to get pregnant....whoops! i am a bit wary of the whole thing but hearing people rave about how much they have helped is really making me consider it. anything that...

Danlie, i feel like i have found my diabetes twin!! I have had diabetes for coming up 24 years and i have NEVER got to grips with it. I must admit a lot of that is due to me being negligent and not wanting to admit that i was different from other people and can't get away with eating the way...

Good luck hellbunny! I hope things get easier for you soon xx have to say it's comforting though to see other people struggling with this crazy disease as much as me. i've been T1 diabetic for the last 24 years and feel like i've never got a grip on it. However, i always felt like i was on my...

Hi Lemondrop, how are you getting along? I hope everything is fine and you are now at the stage of being able to enjoy it! i am in the early stages myself and feeling the same as you. The pregnancy wasn't planned and my control isn't the best so i'm petrified of something going wrong. i know...

also Danlie must be soooo frustrating with your night jabs, knowing that one unit either way will result in a hypo, or high BG readings. I cannot think of anything to help, other than what you are already doing (which is not ideal!) Have you tried doing the extra unit but then eating something...

So pleased to hear your early scan was all ok! :D I was contacted by the diabetic midwife yesterday (only 2 days after going to the Dr) So it seems like they are going to jump on this quickly, which i'm very happy and relieved about! I explained to her that i'm worried as my control has never...

Hi Jubblyjo you are certainly not alone and it's nice to know someone else struggles with erratic blood sugars! My hba1c has always been too high and i really struggle with my blood sugar being low one minute and then sky high the next. the really frustrating thing is when you do the same thing...

Hi Danlie, congratulations on your pregnancy, how is everything going? I am in a similar position to you, have recently discovered that i'm pregnant but i am very worried as my control has never been great. Like you said in your OP, i find I can do the same things day after day and yet get...
