Thanks would be really interested in getting one. Have appointment with the DN tomorrow. How's things going with you? Xxt
 
No problem @Amy.W , glad to help!

Things are going ok thanks, currently 7 weeks pregnant (i think), waiting for an appointment with an ob so i can get things moving but due to the festive period it has been difficult. Sugars are always low at the moment so that is ok as i don't have my libre yet so i can catch the highs before they happen! xx
 
I hVe a freestyle libre and can honestly say that I wouldn't have got through my pregnancy so far (only 15+6) without it. It's invaluable.


Type 1 diabetic since 2007
 
Can a hbo1c be the problem. ...? Ive been trying for 7 years and my doctor just says because your hbo1c has been 10 for 12yrs ( by the way i have no damage and only hypo at 3.0 ) is the reason ??? Anyone help as ive been told by others thay are just fobbing you off as it dont stop you getting pregnant in the first place ....

Is that your GP saying that or your diabetes specialist? Have you seen a gynaecologist to check that everything's ok?

There is brief info here:

For any woman - diabetic or not - being in good general health is beneficial eg healthy weight, nutritious diet, etc.

If you haven't had any infertility investigations, I'd push for those. In the meantime, ask your DSN for advice about getting your HbA1C down. It can only help - now and in any future pregnancy :)
