Ah I do love him heheOmg bless him , wow he is tiny haha . His really sweet !!
I didn't really know what it was all about at first but googled it so got a rough idea of what to expect , think it's like a guidance thing to help you be the best you can be l what your bms should be what you should be doing , make sure your bloods are up to date , maybe have to have bloods , as they thoroughly check everything . I've had mine done through my diabetes team . So I know that's all ok . It's really the next step and then they will sorta let you know when your ready , and go from there . But if you look it up on google will explain so much more .
Yeah I do find they work the best . I've got the raspberry ones at the moment . Grr want to throw them up there nasty hope the orange ones are better lol . I've been naughty I've been having crips after my hypos haha .
Brilliant readings though !! Yeah that's the worst feeling dehydrated !! Yeah I deffo get what you mean when you feel your dropping sounds mad to others , but I getcha lol !!
How strange both a bit meh partners were the ones more sure lol . Deffo sounds like you guys have a plan , it' makes all the difference though having the support From the men . That is so cute of him haha !! Wish mine could take that long off ! Be brilliant for you all the help he can give you aswell .
It's all so exciting , just hope I can carry the baby when it comes to it eeeek . The further I've got the more like wow I feel lol .
Really can not wait to hear from you after the 7th , wish it would hurry up for you haha .
Haha don't worry about it !!
That's a really good idea , as that's where you will learn how to carb count and how to change ratios about and what to do in certain situations .
Will deffo help during pregnancy .
Hmm might have to open the orange ones up pretty soon haha .
Yeah is a positive . I think you've done well getting it back on track and doing it all really well .
So much to think about.
I've just asked a question , as when I'm due in my bms go mental . Got told was to do with something in the pill . So what happens when I have to come off it , hope they don't muck up .
Heeeey one more day eeeekhello!! I haven't had a email back from the dafne course yet but will ask my diabetic nurse when I see her!
yes try the orange ones hahaha
can you imagine our bloods will be like when we get pregnant haha
how are you today? How have your bms been? Mine have been good today (or shall I say I'm happy with them) 4.8 but was just going to have my breakfast so was fine lunch I was 10 and dinner 5.8so all I good I think? have you heard anything yet?

Heeeey one more day eeeek
Arr , I haven't heard either , why is it they never seem to get back to anyone . I've rang again today and left my number again , but nothing , i can understand they are busy but I'm being impatient at the moment . I shall ring again tomorrow I want an appointment lol .
Is it your diabetic nurse your seeing on the 7th or your gp ?
Hmm lol that will be the task !! I've read that the first trimester it's likely yourll experience lows , then second and third your insulin requirements will rise . Think it will be a see what happens and change when need be . Be tricky one eh !! .
Your bms seem fab considering you said you had been high for a couple of days , I've got somewhere in the DAFNE book what they like your levels to be and in some leaflets I've got , think has also been said in a comment above . But shall see whats said once get an app . It's good that you are happy with yours today .
I've been good thank you , you ? My bms have been good I'm happy with mine also .
I've fount out by injecting breakfast and lunch 40 mins early with my novo doesn't send me into a spike , and about 20 mins with lunch .
7.3 6.6
3.9 ( classed as a good reading in pregnancy lol !! )
4.4 8.0
And just now 5.7
Double yay !!! Lol .One day closer to my appointment and one day closer to one born every minute lol!!!
Ahh that's so annoying yes they are prob busy but your still there patient also takes 2 mins to book an appointment!
Will be very tricky specially because I'm trying to get mine back on track then it will all change agin lol
Yes I've been good thank you I have a week of work next week and this week is going so quick already which is a bonus just hope next week doesn't go so quick haha
when do you inject your insulin ? I have always done mine straight after I have eaten but I guess that's how I've always known how to do it!
Wow your bms have been great!! 3.9 classed as good are they crazyyyyyyy hahaha I'll be shaking at 3.9!

Double yay !!! Lol .
Yeah that is true actually , I thought bloody hell why can't they just book an appointment in but apparently has to be done by the admin people.
But will ring again tmz and be a pain lol .
Yeah will be so tricky as want it all to be with in target to be at our healthiest so will involve constant changing I think .
That's brilliant always good to get time off work .
I used to do that all the time inject after , but then my bms would go high afterwards , and it's because the insulin isn't there to cover the carbs your eating at first , so I do it before but was still getting high bms after so I inject 40 mins early to eating my dinner and breakfast so the insulin gets to work . Then only 20 mins before my lunch . All depends on your readings though with timing . And everyone's time will be different .
Was just something I tried and it works for me but might not work for others .
Your targets : as an overal but to be discussed with your diabetes team
( this is from the leaflet )
Before meal 3.5 - 5.9
And less than 7.8 1 hour after meals .
And ideally your hba1c should be below a 7%
So maybe if the 3.9 was after the meal you would treat it to come up to a 5 , all pre to pregnancy of course .
But yeah changes all the blooming rules eh !! Be very worth it though , so I'm trying to adapt to being a 3.9 and feel okayish but not quiet there yet haha .
Wooo I loved that whole hour !!
Looks so painful that women going fudge fudge , she didn't say that at the end !! Haha and the name cosmos was deffo a different choice lol .
Well I had to ring again and finally after 5 pm my nurse rang me she's been trying to do it so that she can come in on my appointment and go through everything with me and the diabetic midwife , so that's why I hadn't heard as she was planning so they both could see me hehe , she's soo great so my appointment is on the 15 eeeeeek . Too excited right now !! Kieron went mental haha
Yeah you've got such a good week ahead of you hehe , Ooo how's the convincing going so far lol . Has it worked ?
Omg that's what I used to do like being first diagnosed to like teens maybe , strange eh . Maybe if you can attend that course it will all change again then pregnancy so again, ought oo lol .
Oo bloody hell , that's never good , you feeling ok now though , yeah your very lucky it wakes you up when you go low during the night .
You had a good lunch time bm , what was you recent bm .
I've been very well today as you can guess well ok after 5 pm as was like why no phone callAll day , my poor mum lmao .
My bms have been good too so I'm happy .
6.4 7.4
