Type 1 diabetic mums UK

Hi everyone

I’m 23 weeks pregnant with my first, T1D for 33yrs. Have recently moved onto the Ypsomed from Omnipod 5. Would love to meet other T1D Mums nearby ☺️

We are planning on our 2nd baby and I was wondering if anyone fell pregnant without taking folic acid for the 3 months as I was told you have to take folic acid for at least 3 months prior to trying for a baby. Thank you ☺️

Hello all! I’m a 32 yr old T1D since I was 15. Nearly 13 weeks pregnant with my first, following a miscarriage last year.

So glad to have found this app and group! Had a stressful day today with shugs rising to 17 and not coming down, can’t help but beat myself up over it!

Seeing some of your posts have helped so much 💙

I’m 34 weeks today and have had 2 unexpected lows today which I can’t really explain. Ok top of this I’ve needed a lot of sugar / fast acting carbs to bring me up. I also for the past 3 weeks have been very nauseous and off of food and have lowered my insulin for this. Has anyone experienced similar please? I’m sat here now drinking orange juice after eating a load of sweets as it’s only brought me up by 1.5mml in 20mins 🙄

So I’m 17+5 and have tested positive for Covid today. I’m not in anyway and anti vaxer in fact before I became pregnant due to my type 1 diabetes I’ve already had 5 jabs however I’m not having it pregnant. Personally I can’t see how in 3 years we can go from it’s not safe for pregnant women to now saying it’s safe. There is simply not enough evidence to prove otherwise in my humble opinion; Maybe in 20 years when it’s proven to be safe for my baby then yes. What I wondered is if anyone has had covid whilst pregnant how were you? I would say this is just a mild cold however I am so so tired and my blood glucose is running high. Other than that I’m doing ok. Anyone have any experience of covid and pregnancy 🤰🏼
