Hi I'm writing for my sister she is 12 weeks pregnant and type 1 diabetic insulin managed. She today had a hypo n had to get paramedics and be rushed to hospital. She is getting different advice from doctors about diet - can anybody recommend foods she should eat for meals and for snacks - thanks

As your sister is in hospital she should ask to speak with a DSN who will advice her about diet and such.
The JDFR recently launched a pregnancy toolkit for ladies with type 1 diabetes, your sister may want to send off for it as I'm sure they'll be lots of useful information and advice in the pack, here is a link to their website:
