[QUOTE="nixiepixie, post: 388239, member: 70499"] Hi Taffy, thanks for your message :) I had my scan yesterday and it showed up as being 6 weeks and 4 days along! So still a few more weeks before i can tell people (although i think a lot of people have already guessed!) They said everything looks fine, could see baby's heart fluttering on the screen and the sonographer seemed really happy. Saw the consultant afterwards and he was lovely, no hassle about high hba1c etc. He did talk about all the complications and the importance of keeping blood sugar as near normal as possible, but in general he seemed quite happy with what i've been doing. He has now put me on Levemir instead of Glargine, as he said it's better during pregnacy? I normally take 18 units of glargine at night, so he suggested doing 6 units of levemir last night and 12 this morning. Well ever since last night i've been running high and feeling really REALLY sick! don't know if this is just a pregnancy/hormones blip or whether it's to do with the new insulin! Going to persevere and probably increase both levemir doses a little bit if i stay high all day today. Going on a hen weekend tomorrow and i'm totally dreading it. Don't know how i'm going to manage my sugars, and at the same time keep this a secret. we're going to a spa, but i can't do any of it. going to be estimating carbs all weekend as i won't be preparing food myself. it's really making me not even want to go, but i would hate to let my friend down. I really don't want to let diabetes take over my whole life, but it really seems impossible not to :( [/QUOTE]
