About a week ago my endo gave me Apidra to try and I don't know if it was that, or possibly pregnancy, but my post meal and pre breakfast/post wake up numbers have been over 200, and sometimes climbing. I switched back to my trusty novolog this morning, wound up with one low, changed my target blood...

I'm 11 dpo and my husband and I have been TTC for a few months with the OPK's. I know that your sugars go wacky when your hormones start increasing and mine have been pretty even keeled beforehand, but with some highs now. Today I woke up at 283 after going to bed at 115 and drinking a small...

Hi all, I've reading for a few weeks now and wondering, do all of us t1's have to have c-sections or be induced, or have there actually been some natural births? I know they induce and do the c-sections for certain complications (pre-eclampsia), but do they just do it as well because we're...

I always think about the things i'd love to do RIGHT now if I just didn't have T1 Diabetes. Right now I would spend the next 2 hours waxing my wood floors! haha! I know that sounds lame, but as soon as I get started, 15 minutes in I start to get low...even when I lower my basal or all together...

Thanks everyone for your input. My BG readings have come down and I am back to my normal basal rate. I have been reading a very good book called, Balancing Pregnancy with Pre-Existing Diabetes by Cheryl Alkon. It's written by a T1D and 100% from that perspective. It's great. Anyway, interesting...

Hi everyone, my husband and I just found out we're pregnant! By my calender we conceived 3 weeks ago, but my doctor tells me 4 1/2 weeks based on my last menstrual cycle. ANYWAY, so far I've needed more insulin (not less like many people) during this initial phase. I have increased both basal...

my husband and I have just learned that we are pregnant. I have been a type 1 for 13 years and my last A1c was 7.5 which was up from the last two of 7.1 and 6.5. I take A LOT of medicine icluding dieretics, blood pressure, thyroid, cholesterol..... Both my husband and I are a bit scared and surprised...

I'm 12 weeks along now and had pre-pregnancy A1C's of 6-6.5. Now, with the close watch on my bloodsugars I'm down at 5.8, so that's fun! You will have to keep a real close eye on your sugars during pregnancy so I wouldn't worry about the specific numbers. Your docs will keep an eye...

Hey Amanda. So your doctor isn't crazy to suggest that you induce at 37 weeks. The larger the fetus, the greater the likelihood of post-partum complications for both you and the baby. He is not entirely accurate about the cause for the size of your baby. It is theorized that women with type 1 diabetes...
