Preganancy & Type 1

Hi,

So i am trying to get my sugars under control so we can start a family. Currently my HBa1C is around 8.4 which is obviously no where near good enough to start a family.
I have stopped drinking alcohol and have had the Freestyle libre for around a month now. My sugars do not seems to have any pattern to them. I have spoken to the diabetes nurses who have said they can't seem to see any patterns in my sugars so i need to think about trying to make my carb intake more consistent. I pretty much eat the same for lunch everyday and breakfast and i'm still having high blood sugars.
I was just looking for someone who has been in the same position and can offer any advice.

Thanks, Samantha

Hi Diakat,

Yes i am trying to sort these at the moment but i don't really get how that will sort it, every day is different for my sugars, for example a couple of weeks ago i had a couple of days which were brilliant, i don't think i went above 7 for 2 days, nothing was different on these days apart from i felt a bit ill, i still ate the same and did the same activities that i do everyday.

So if i got my basal/ ratios right i don't know how long it will last before i'm back to looking at them again. I just feel a bit deflated at the moment, got a whole list of things to do (given to me by hospital) before i can think about having a baby:
# Stop drinking alcohol- Done
# Lose 2 stone- in progress
# Stop vaping- In progress
# Reduce anti-depressants- gone from 30mg to 20mg and looking to reduce again in a few weeks
# Get Hba1c in check- Struggling with

I was looking for hopefully somebody who was in the same boat to see how they managed it, I want a success story! Lol!

Thanks for your reply x x
