[QUOTE="dje55, post: 2305664, member: 392659"] Hi there, Congratulations on your pregnancy! You need to get an emergency prescription for folic acid 5mgs. This cannot be bought over the counter. You can also self refer to your nearest maternity unit - not a birth centre or midwifery led unit. Let them know asap that you have T1DM and that you are having issues regarding registration with a GP. You should be seen as an urgent case. Your blood glucose will be up and down in early pregnancy due to hormone changes. Just do your best to keep them stable. Expect lots of hypos and you may lose your warning signs - make sure your partner (& maybe some trusted work colleague?) know this. It's a bit of a roller coaster but you'll find that you'll soon get used to it! You'll also need loads of blood glucose sensors/libre/cgm. Hope you get sorted soon x [/QUOTE]
