Hi guys, I've finally received my 640g upgrade, been told by diabetes team I can play about with it but not to set it up and put it on myself.. I get that some patients may not be able to do it correctly but I've copied everything over from my old pump, paired new bg monitor, so I don't see why...

Hi everyone, I've not been on here for a reallyyyy long time, had a lot going on but have really missed you all! Been having some probs with bg readings which I'm not starting to get back under control slowly as they have been rather high - being a parent when diabetic is tough man, you never...

Hi ladies, not sure if this is related at all but was just wondering after experiencing lots of lows in the weeks after having your babies did bgs then kind of go back to normal & at what point? I still get a couple of lows through the day some days but I'm struggling massively with...

Hi, I posted on Saturday in the new baby news thread but thought I'd do a post with my little story n more detail of everything and just a little update for anyone interested :) - FYI sorry I've rambled loads! [emoji38] I went in hospital Thursday afternoon for induction at 38+1 everything...

So I'm being induced on Thursday [emoji51][emoji3] feeling pretty nervous now! Had a scan today and consultant was really happy with everything, baby is estimated to be around 7lb 8 at the minute but I imagine that's completely out as I know from what I've read on here it's never correct lol...

Just in case people haven't realised! Yeyyyyy!! Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum mobile app

Hi, had my 36w scan today and baby is now around 6lb 9, They were happy with everything and decided to scan me again 2weeks today to check everything again and then they will either keep me in then so I'd be 37+5 or wait till the Wednesday when I'd be 38w to do my induction. Was a little bit...

Hi... I apologise now for my ramblings lol... Had my weekly appointment today and they booked in my 36w scan in a fortnight's time, there was talk that id have the scan at 35w as she was a little on the big side at 32w scan but they have said she's not excessively big, I'm on the top line on...

I don't know if I'm just being a bit dim but on my app the 'like' option has disappeared? I can share/quote etc people's posts but no longer like them? Anyone got any ideas?

Got a1c result today of 38 and feel beyond proud of myself!! After all the problems I've had with sickness n it causing some rather random bg results I had prepared myself for it to have gone up - and started beating myself up about it before even having the results [emoji38] last one was 39 so...

I'm quite annoyed so just going to blurt out all the things that have annoyed me this afternoon in no particular order and see if anyone has experienced similar Had my 28 week scan today (I'm 29w tomorrow) had it a week late because of Easter n my clinic is a Monday which they wanted me to...

Hi, I did a post a few weeks ago about my insulin resistance suddenly increasing (which I expected) but now I seem to be going back the other way again.. Some days I've having quite a few readings of 3, I'm not getting spikes as much, I did adjust my pump so basal is higher but I've had to...

I'm 22 weeks now and it's like over night I've gone from needing very little insulin to needing soooooo much! still trying to tweek my rates so had a full day of 7.2-9.8 yesterday which cracked me up! I moaned about constantly being low up until now but my god that was so much easier I'm not...

Hi, not sure if I'm posting this in the right section sorry, I started feeling unwell yesterday and knew within a couple of hours it was gastroenteritis, I know because in the last few years I've had it at least 2-3 times a year, surely this isn't normal? I know my immune system is weaker due to...

Hi girls, quick question, you know the vitamins the dsn prescribes to take during pregnancy, are they to be taken the whole pregnancy?

Just wanted to update you all, had my 12w scan yesterday, turns out I was a little further ahead than I thought, I am 13.5w, all was well with baby so I am over the moon, couldn't believe I got to see him/her moving around a bit, putting hand over face, best thing I've ever saw! Hope everyone...

Hi girls, dsn and consultant have decided I should only bolus after I have eaten as I am still struggling a lot with appetite due to nausea or when I do eat keeping it down, I understand this makes sense but the spikes it will incur is bugging me. Was anyone else told to do this? My a1c is down...

I'm so fed up, I'm trying my best but I feel nauseous from the second I open my eyes, haven't actually been sick but the feeling is strongly there all the time. No food is appealing to me at all, I'm forcing myself to eat but it's tiny portions and not often I'm 6 +4, had an early scan today...

Every flippin time I change my set my bg goes up. EVERY TIME! I don't know how this happens or where I go wrong, I do all the change I fill cannula and the insulin come out of the end so I know my tubing and everything is spot on, I'm obsessed with air bubbles so always make sure there is non...

The new series starts tonight and it's in my home town.... [emoji85] Dreading watching it, there was huge uproar when it was being filmed, the housing estate it was filmed on isn't the best but I can tell by the advert they have made it look worse than it is. Only a year ago Ashley Banjo was...
