Hi
Doctors thought I had gestational diabetes during my pregnancy but since giving birth I still had very high levels and have just been diagnosed with type 1 so back on insulin injections 4x a day which is very tough looking after a baby and yourself.
I went from being monitored every week by the hospital duing my pregnancy to nothing really now and the community team have cancelled my appoinment so its another month until i'm seen.
Need advice on foods and i'm so worried about having hypos with my baby that keep topping myself up with bad snacks/ sugar. Think I need a reality check and the long term damages, i'm 31 years old and feel like a lost teenager again.
I have come on here as don't know anyone with diabetes and thought users may be able to give me some advice etc. Thanks.
