Hi everyone, i'm wondering if there are any type 1 diabetics who are pregnant? This is my 3rd baby, was originally diagnosed with GD in my first pregnancy, but when they realised i didn't follow the characteristics with age/weight/no family history etc i had blood tests which confirmed slow onset type 1. Currently on basal/bolus. I'm unwell atm with a cold and my levels are averaging 12 all day which i know isn't good, my 2 babies were born at 8lb 6oz and 7lb 1oz which are very normal/healthy weights, neither had problems at birth regulating their levels (as babies born to diabetic mums can often have hypoglycemia at birth)
This pregnancy is the most difficult level wise and my other 2 were all on target, kept all my readings below 8mmol 1hour after meals. This time its much more difficult, probably because i'm fully progressed type 1 now where as before i was still making alot of my own insulin which i guess helped me out! xx
