[QUOTE="saruhbeau, post: 1548982, member: 308335"] Thanks so much [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] :) I'm a pharmacy technician and had never heard of that! I emailed my dsn asking her but found out she is on holiday, but have been given a diabetic clinic appointment next Tues. [USER=11023]@tigger[/USER] thanks for sharing your experience :) I was using dexcom up until a month ago, self funded. But I have had hyperemisis gravidarum and have had the last 6 weeks off work and I just can't afford it now. I am going to see if the clinic will provide me with one sensor while I get basal rates sorted but know I will probably have to find the money from somewhere. So I had my scan this week! And found out I am 16 weeks and having a baby boy so shocked I thought I was nowhere near 16 weeks. They did all the checks they will repeat at 20 weeks too, and everything looks perfect. I am so grateful! Since then I have seen the diabetic midwife, had bloods etc. Been referred to a dietician, and have an appointment with the obs consultant who sees diabetics in 3 weeks. They have also made me a diabetic clinic appointment for Tuesday. I am hoping there is some news on the pump because I am really really struggling. When people said diabetes is harder in pregnancy I didn't appreciate how hard, with the added anxiety that it may harm the baby. I had a severe hypo of 1.3 on Wednesday and nearly needed an ambulance. Happened in my sleep. 1u drops me too much and unless I eat (which is hard with this sickness) I can't safely correct unless I am 9mmol/l. Dexcom would make this so much easier!! I also had my eye screening this week as I have quite bad retinopathy. And also given fragmin today which I am told I must injection daily until 6 weeks after baby comes. I feel well looked after anyway! [/QUOTE]
