Message: <blockquote data-quote="Juicyj" data-source="post: 2282187" data-attributes="member: 53162">Hi [USER=518087]@Chloelox[/USER] My gestational diabetes disappeared after my daughter's birth, so I was able to live without insulin, my pregnancy was putting stress on my body due to the extra weight I was carrying so when my daughter was delivered my blood glucose levels returned to normal, type 1 was lying dormant however and I was then diagnosed around 3 years later.  It sounds like now you're not under so much stress that your pancreas has revived, so reducing your doses under the guidance of your diabetes nurse is vital to avoid the hypos, you can also try the half unit pen which kids normally use, I had one when injecting and found it to be really useful.  No one else in my family has type 1 so I am the anomaly in my genetic pool, I think I had diabetes earlier than my diagnosis at 23 weeks, but as this was the first time I had been checked it was only then it was picked up, I went straight onto insulin and was induced at 37 weeks, my daughter is now 12 and healthy.Only your healthcare team can advise on dosing so please call them today and get this sorted, avoiding hypos is vital as you have little one to look after x</blockquote>
