Wishing you both well and hope you can hang on to baby for a few more weeks.
 
@Bwallace how are you getting on today? X
 
Hope your okay x
 
I doubt it if yours is a normal Type 1 pregnancy LOL - we've already mentioned it goes up in leaps and bounds as you get nearer your due date. That's just because it does - we haven't invented that fact to worry you and if you think about it, you are now juggling insulin for two people instead of just one, aren't you?

Good luck!

So glad you are home now! Just get some rest and take care of yourself xx
 
Glad to hear that you are now home @Bwallace
Nothing in Diabetes is normal, and the pregnancy will confuse things.
Whatever our circumstances, we need what we need, so just do the best that you can, and keep monitoring things. Hope you can get some rest.
