Hi Carole_Type1, I had my section 2 weeks ago at 36+6 and went in for steroid injections at 33+4. We were going to be induced with a possible section, which ended up as a semi emergency semi elective as baby's tummy was on the bigger side and eventually my fluid tripled in 2 weeks. She came out...

I had a section 6 days ago, only got home last night. I knew I'd be having a section around 37 weeks but at 36+4 I was admitted immediately after my antenatal appointment. Baby was on the bigger side and my fluid had tripled over 2weeks. I was admitted on a semi emergency/elective section with a...

Today is my 15th anniversary! I was 12, 4 days shy of my 13th birthday. And I still had my cake [emoji57]

Yeah me too, because I just got the letter to go and see someone at the eye hospital I'm left panicking as to how bad it is and what they can do. It's the unknown isn't it. I haven't had chance to speak to my DSN yet, but I'm at my 34 week growth scan and antenatal app on Tuesday so I can talk...

I keep trying to tell myself I haven't long left and then after having baby I can get back to some sort of normal. And you're right about not stressing about something that's already happened, I'll try and keep that in mind [emoji4] I have a few 'blobs' as I call them in my right peripheral...

Thank you for the response, my control has been pretty good throughout my pregnancy, my last hba1c was 6.1 and I had good control before I got pregnant. I just feel disappointed in myself that it has progressed and the wait to the appointment is like torture. Fingers crossed nothing has...

Hi guys, I've just received a letter from my hospital telling me I have pre proliferative retinopathy following my last eye check at 32 weeks pregnant and I have been given an appointment for Feb 10th to be seen by the eye specialist. I'm really scared as I don't know much about it or what to...

Thank you for the advice azure [emoji5] carbs without bolusing sounds pretty good! I'm sure I'll have a chat with my midwife at some point about it but no one knows our needs as much as we do eh [emoji4] it's great to be able to ask fellow t1 mums for advice! It's greatly appreciated! X

Yes I have heard that my BG could drop whilst breast feeding, haven't discussed this with my midwife yet. How much did you find bf effected your levels? And was this all the time you bf? I'm a little wary of it as I don't know what to expect.

Another update! I went and picked up my prescription on Saturday and nearly fell over when I received 200 strips! I grabbed them and ran! [emoji38] I assume my letter from my ob/DSN had worked, and nothing to do with me going in and requesting them! Either way I'm happy and relieved to have...

Thanks guys, I will make a call to the surgery if I can't get back in today and make the complaint. I need to call the chemist and see if they have sent the prescription through also. I am seeing my ob again in two weeks for my next scan and will inquire about the prescription to collect from...

Hi guys, a update from me also, after being refused the test strips I had called my GP for, And the letter I sent in from my OB, I still didn't collect any extra test strips this week other than my usual amount. I requested some once more, which I was told 1 box would be ready to collect today...

Yes, I read what she had written specifying the duration and reason etc. Yes my GP is very quick to critique my control for example whilst trying for our baby my GP said my hba1c of 45 could be a lot better...I had to snigger because if I didn't I'd have exploded.

I've had this argument with my GP for years. Managed to get 150 a month, then after the daphne course I attended my DSN got it up to 200 per month. However, now I am pregnant I have to test even more and have to do much more basal rate testing etc I rang up and requested more strips and my GP...

Hi nstewart88, I was exactly the same as you when I decided it was time to start thinking about babies. I had spoken to my consultant about a year before we actually started trying to conceive so they were aware of my intentions and also so I could be prepared for what was ahead and to get...

Hi guys, I set my account up myself before I even attached my pump. I always order online and receive my consumables in about 4 days.

Thanks. Feeling okay at the minute, prob about as confident as I've been over the last 12 hours, thanks to you all. Baby girl is moving nicely, belly looking like something from alien haha. I think she may enjoy Star Wars later lol Thank you again xxx

Hi azure, thanks for your advice. I will be definitely requesting more appointments when I go in. Apparently there's not much to advise me on until the diabetes team are back at the hospital tomorrow... They've told me to call back then. Because I'm usually pretty stable during the day I just...

Thanks Sarah, fortunately I've had no signs of pre eclampsia. I will try having some cereal before bed to see if that helps. I will give the ward a call again today. Hi Carole_Type1, thanks for your post. I was under the apprehension that my drop in basal was just normal for me until I read...

It is my diabetes OB that wanted me back after 6 weeks because my control has been really good. Haven't seen the diabetes midwife and the community midwife said there was no need to see her unless there was an issue! My shaking has calmed a the mo, sipping on a glass of water. I had this...
