Uncontrolled type 1 & pregnant HELP!!

Hello and welcome. Congratulations if you are pregnant, but best to get it confirmed first. Then try to get your blood sugars at a good and stable level, for your own sake and the baby. Could you make an appointment asap to see your GP or DSN ?
I am type 1 and I had my daughter 13 years ago, plus I'm an older mum too.
Please try and not to get too stressed, as this could put your blood sugars up. Also do you have support from your partner or family? I hope it all works out well for you, take care. With best wishes

As RRB said contact your GP.
They will confirm it and if you don't have a DSN / consultant I am sure they will put you in contact with the correct people.

I would just say that you are concerned you may be pregnant and have type 1 diabetes. If they ask if it it an emergency appointment then say yes.

Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

I've been there and done that..... and to add to it, didn't know I was pregnant till I was 18 weeks! Go to the Dr, be open and honest and listen to their advice. You've got from here on to work on your health and levels, what's done is done, so don't stress over that.

Congrats and best of luck with you journey.

Hooked, just curious, was your baby unaffected at birth as you didn't know you were pregnant until 18weeks? With my first I found out at about 6 weeks and hadn't taken any folic acid, luckily he was ok! How was your sugar control?

Tubzi are you taking folic acid?
