[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 349758, member: 16982"] Congratulations Hales. I hope you have managed to get a referral now - if your GP is being slack you may be able to self refer if you phone up antenatal and ask to speak to the diabetes midwife. At least you have done it before so know what you are doing! I think sometimes GPs are winging it particularly when it comes to quite complex things with diabetes which we all know a lot better than they do. I guess they have to deal with so many different illnesses they can't know them all inside out. My sugars are a little better now, it is hard to get them low enough without going hypo though. My hospital has ridiculously low targets - 7 after a meal and 5 before. I have to eat my breakfast in two halves now, injecting all my insulin at once but eating half straight away and half an hour later. Annoying but the only way to avoid the post breakfast peak. I'm off to antenatal tomorrow, will let you all know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
