Type 1 Diabetes

Hey how are you?
Thankyou for all that. I think your right with the 'tweeking' I think it is a matter of trial and error at the moment. I am 9 weeks yesterday so hard to control and I thik Im freaking out a little too much. Last night was a little better. I am seeing my specialist on Wednesday so I am going to ask him about changing and see what he says.
I have panicked all through this pregnancy from the moment I found out. i know my diabetes is a serious issue but I think I need to calm down a little and focus on whats happening instead of expecting them to be perfect withouot effort.
I will kjeep trying...Im not giving up...this is too important to me.

Thankyou for all your help, Its great having someone to talk to about this and having someone who knows whats its like......I guess its hard on people who dont have it to understand.......
Thanks so much......
So how are you feeling? Not long to go for you!!

Good to hear you have an appointment with your endo so soon.

I would also perhaps ask him/her about going on to Levemir or Lantus as your long acting insulin. I have to be honest, protophane is not worth the hassle.

I am good at the moment but I have had a really rough time being pregnant this time around (terrrible morning sickness to 27 weeks and then a severe asthma attack at 28 weeks which saw me in hospital for 10 days).

It is definitely harder 2nd time around.

My son in 2 and a bit and is full of energy and wants to be on the go all the time. I also work 3 days a week aswell. Perhaps I should start to slow down a bit.....

Before I had the asthma attack, I was not really well (struggling to breathe does that funnily enough) and my OB said that we were only going to aim for 34 weeks and then get the bub out. Since my asthma has settled, things have improved and by OB said that we could probably aim for 36 weeks. When she said that, I nearly cried because I am soooooooo over trying to control the damned diabetes side of things as well as all the other stuff you have to deal with.

Anyhow, whatever happens, I will be just glad to have it all over and have this baby arrive healthily.

My son was born at 34 weeks and really dont see the problem with No 2 coming at 34 weeks aswell. The only down side would be the lengthy stay in special care for bub, which makes it difficult.......especially with a toddler.

I really cant wait for the birth (c-section) and even though I had a really tough time with the last one, I know it doesnt last forever and everything heals and things get better.

Have you decided where you are going to have your bub yet?
