Hello everyone... This is something that I am really nervous about facing because I feel that if I do and I ask questions etc... I will just get the outcome that I really do not want to get. The "I'm so sorry to tell you but you cannot have children." I'm 21 years old and have been a diabetic...

I know it sounds a silly question but for the passed two weeks I've been feeling constantly exhausted, fighting high BGL almost daily and then today I've been feeling a little nauseous (but then I did take Kalms Night last night which can cause nausea apparently). I'm due on my period this week...

Hello all, I am 16 weeks and all is fine apart from quite a few hypos! I was wondering if you could share your stories/experiences on if you went full term or were induced early. I know diabetics have a higher percentage of being induced early, but just wondered what the chances would be of...

Hi there, I'm 17 weeks pregnant and have continued to follow a low carb diet as i seem to hypo's a lot when i bolus for meals and i don't enjoy injecting if i'm honest. I have a small toddler to run around after and the risk of hypo'ing gets me quite frustrated and depleted so i just don't eat...

Just a general question about your pumps. Since finding out I'm pregnant I really want one and have been told that I don't fit the criteria and even if i did, it would take me too long to get my head around it and work it out before the labour. I really want it for the labour as I feel it will...

Anyone have any advice and encouragement about vitrectomy while pregnant? We are TTC #2 and I may need a vitrectomy. Looking for positivity, as I'm already a pretty logical over-thinker :( I currently have had a pretty severe vitreous hemorrhage back in December of 2015, which has still yet to...
