I recently found out I am pregnant. It wasn't exactly planned but I was getting healthier in order to get pregnant so I am happy, just shocked and anxious! I think I am at least 10 weeks but it's such new news I am waiting for an urgent scan.
I was on the waiting list for a pump but now I am pregnant my DSN is applying for funding urgently so I can start the pump as long as I'm 12 weeks+
I just wondered if anyone else has been in this position? How long should it take to get basal rates right etc? I've already noticed my insulin needs have increased. My last a1c was 6.9 so not bad but could be a lot better.
I have had 6+ weeks of extreme nausea and vomiting leading to two admissions, which has made it harder to control my levels. If I go hypo it can be impossible to keep anything down to bring it up. I'm hoping the pump will help.
