Hi, I am guessing you are heavily pregnant now? Good luck with everything when the labour comes
I have one 14 month old and am now nearly 12 weeks pregnant with twins. Also have T1D. I have had background retinopathy since I was 18 (15 years ago), but literally have just had results back from my first trimester eye check and now have maculopathy too. Am a bit anxious as am so early pregnant and it's clearly already taking a toll on my body. Nothing got worse during my last pregnancy. I have tight control but do go hypo a lot. Anyway, did you have any tips you wish you knew when you wrote this post? I hope all went well with your pregnancies and wish you much happiness with your babies when they arrive.
Hiya! Yes very very pregnant now, 35+3 and the size of a small whale! I did hypo a lot yes, and still do occasionally, so much so I had to split my basal dose and do twice a day. I must’ve drunk over 100 small juice cartons this whole pregnancy for hypos
One thing I would say is I wish I knew not to stress over the odd high reading. I’ve had a reading of 15 or 17 once or twice and felt so guilty and it stressed me out, but it’s ok if this happens, just correct and carry on, it’ll be ok!
And honestly take it easy, I ended up on bedrest for a short cervix, so nothing diabetes related but do look after yourself and get someone to run around for you like I make my other half do now
I’m being induced on 14th April so not long to go now! I wish you all the luck and hope I can be of and help if you have a question! Xx
