Type 1 diabetic Mamas.

Just need to vent here a little. Since having my second child, who is now 15 months, I've definitely slacked off what feels like a lot with taking care of myself. I know i can do better because during my pregnancy my a1c was 6.4. I moved a couple months after having my daughter and I've only been to the doctor once since living here🫣 I just feel like a financial burden since im also a SAHM. But I need to force myself to go to the doctor because my prescription refills are getting low but I just get anxiety of how bad my a1c may be. And I've been diabetic for 22 years and it just feels like a drag at times

Hi all has anybody in UK ever tried to claim pip for T1D, complications due to T1D which affect day to day activities, anxiety & depression at all?

Hey any other diabetic mamas wanna be friends? T1D for 19 years here🖤

Hospital team are strongly pushing to induce me at 37-38 weeks. I understand the risks but believe it’d be better to allow my body to go into labour when ready. I’m 26 with 70% in target most weeks and good hba1c. If intervention is needed after going into spontaneous labour i’d accept it when medically necessary instead of just in case. They were so harsh through the conversation i’m starting to question my gut and view on it though…Has anyone also refused induction or have experience on this?

Has anyone experienced skin reactions to any adhesive in pregnancy? I’ve been on the ypsomed pump since beginning of the year with no issues, and Dexcom CGM for years, again with no issues. The moment I fell pregnant, I’ve experienced red, sore, swollen itchy sites for both after removal. To the point it scars my skin and itchiness lasts for weeks. I’ve tried barrier spray, I’ve tried removing with adhesive remover wipes, nothing makes a difference
