Forums New posts
I gave jab first time last winter as I was preggers n swine flu scare was going around. Never gave it b4 even tho GP kept inviting me 2. I hear if u take it once, U'll have to take it forever or u really do get severe flu and I didn't like depending on it! Gave mine other day. Pink u shud take it now that ur preggers b4 they ran out of jab. Last yr my GP had to track one down 4 me as supplies had stopped!
 
Well had a scan yesterday and baby is back on the 'guidelines' growth chart and looks like it's gaining steady weight not just putting the fat on but my hba1c was 9.5%!!!!!!

WTF??????? I got so annoyed with myself about it though :(!!!!! plus doesnt make sense when it comes to peanuts growth being on target but then my bloods all over?!?!!?:evil:!!!
 
Just had clinic and I was suprisingly shocked with what he said.
The dr told the student nurse that I knew what I was doing and was determined to get my sugars right and knows I struggle with the hypos but all in all was pleased. He did ask If contraception had failed but I told him the truth but told him i was determined to do it right again. My hba1c was 8.6 but I will get it down xxx
Hope everyones well xx
 
Docs rang me up and told me and OH to come in for a jab, We are having ours next week.....

Hope everyone is well. Baby not moving much which scares me but do have anterior placenta. Have another scan on Tuesday and find out latest Hba1c argh!! feel like my eyes are a bit crap at the moment so have to have another retinopathy scan... sodding hell best blood glucose and blood pressure ever and now; after 20 years my eyes start going wonky...

Wow Hawalkden almost there now, keep it up :)

Big hugs to all....:hugs:

I hope everyone is OK.

I had some horrible news yesterday.

It hasn't been my blood sugar that's caused me the most trouble this pregnancy, it's my blood pressure, and I had a GP appointment yesterday and it was high again. It wasn't sky high, but because my BP has kept going up and down during this pregnancy, my GP said he won't be able to give me approval to fly home to the States in November. Ever since I moved to the UK, I've flown home for Thanksgiving every year, but it won't be happening this year. I can't fly without a GP letter saying I can fly.

I can understand my GP's decision but it's obviously upsetting.
 
Hi all, well i think I have a water infection so im off to docs tomorrow yey lol. Just wanted to ask a quick question, i have the wee sticks that tell you everthing on and for some reason keytones showed up. i didnt have them yesterday and bloods are fine. Should I check tomorrow and if there again ring midwife? I have been eating fine and last sugar was 5 so really dont understand why.
Hope everyone is ok xx
 
I always have ketones no matter what my bloods, sugars & being good levels! Consultant says it's just my body! Odd I know :)!
Hope they go though. If they go up I'd go A&E if they don't go down etc :) x
 
Thanks heather it's worrying x I always get protein so that's going to be fun towards end of pregnancy x x
 
Ketones apparently show up in people without diabetes when pregnant often because they are not eating enough or are getting dehydrated - maybe try and improve this and see if the ketones disappear because if your sugars are normal and you had your normal insulin then it won't be because of the diabetes.

Butterpecan sorry your doctor won't sign for you to go on the plane - that must be really disappointing.
 
Tad nervous about Thursday. Been changed to a different hospital ready for L&D. 5 weeks can't wait! New Diabetic Team etc. NEED to write my bloods done. I know only a weeks worth isn't impressive enough for them to look at but better then nothing. Hum.. haha!

Hope everyone is all good :) x
 
I hate writing my bloods down, it always seems to take forever. hope the new hospital is better heather and they understand more xx
 
last late i returned from the gym and had ab aweful headache thought maybe blood sugar was high so tested it and it was 2.6.... i was in shock its never been so low and me not been able to feel it. it was so scary if id of not been curious i could of gone into a coma had it got much lower. so i popped sone dextros it went up to 3.9 then 20 mins later it was down to 2.3 and again i hadnt felt it. it seemed ok after this. and i guess i have keep hearing that pregnancy can do crazy things to ur sugars.
 
im getting quite a few 2's and only feeling them when i check.xx
 
:hugs: broodyb and pink - that sounds very like normal first trimester - its exhausting isn't it?

How is everyone doing? Haven't typed a post in a while but have been reading. My sugars have been a bit high lately (they want them highish but I don't)

My DH entered Kirima in a baby competition here in South Africa, so was wondering if anyone could cast a vote her way. Here is the link:

Thanks :)
 
i made my oh sit with me till i felt better as it really scared me!! gonna check constant now!! worried it happens through the night
 
brody, are you injections or pump?Im on the pump and really reduce my night time imsulin as oh works nights so cant afford night time hypos. xx
 
Hi guys,

Writing the blood glucose down sucks! I forget all the time thankgoodness for smartpix!! I am now on so much lantus I have been told to split the injections for absorption!!
hba1c 6mmol I really wanted to get to 5.9!! I've been told to raise my sugars as I am having too many hypos..... As I diabetic can we ever win? If I raise my sugars my hba1c is going to go up and they told me it needed to be 6?? Oh I'm confused!

Goodluck Hawalkden with the new team, broody B If I hypo with exercise I totally skip the dextrose tablets they are useless for me. A swig of lucozade and a banana usually sorts me out!

Anyway I don't know whats going on with my diabetes it does what it wants! I am on soooooo much insulin its crazy my lantus is 3.5x my prepregnancy dose and the humalog is x3!! Argh!!

Keep up the good work!!

Think I've been a good girl just written all my bloods/insulin down since last Thursday. Not many blood readings I supposed but put all my insulin doses down :). Hope new team is supportive with me tomorrow :D.

Also hope I get my inducing date well rough date. If not definitively by my next growth scan :)

Shellshocked. I know the feeling with hba1c and keeping the consultants happy! Plus keeping the diabetes happy is hardwork!!! haha
 
im quite frequent with my sugars , i do it about 7 times a day, only because i want it right lol.
I hope you get an induction date to, i never had mine by 34 weeks so be warned and I went in at 36 weeks anyway xx
 
Hi ladies how are you all doing? Well im 12 days PP now, and so far sugars have been OK, infact pretty low considering my insulin levels were reduced ALOT...But the odd high ones are starting to creep back in again now. Grr! x
