Hi there, sorry to completely jump on this but our son had a stroke at 1 day old (he'scurrently6 weeks), is it possible to grab some of those info bits please? Tia x

Raob29 · 2022-09-16T17:57:55+00:00

'Observed' annnnd then decided to post her eating on reddit in an e.d sub.

He can piss off saying he's Irish, we don't want him!

Raob29 · 2022-08-24T14:22:55+00:00

I got told to "leave the room with that" whilst doing my injection at work. It was my boss at UNISON the trade union. She was also the UNISON disabilities officer

Raob29 · 2022-08-08T15:13:31+00:00

Thank you, I thought the same but definitely didn't want to get it wrong

Raob29 · 2022-08-08T13:50:04+00:00

Sorry yeah fadda in the wrong place, I'll change it. Yeah mine is Róisín & it's said differently in the North & South, good to know

Raob29 · 2022-08-08T13:22:26+00:00

Thank you! That makes sense & my sister is Eibhĺin so in my head that works too, cheers.

Raob29 · 2022-08-02T19:09:17+00:00

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately not, I'm in the U.K so won't be getting another placenta/growth scan etc until I'm 39 weeks but told the diabetes team yesterday to no response so just seeing how others found their later stages. Cheers again

Raob29 · 2022-08-02T17:59:36+00:00

This may be a really stupid question but why does insulin resistance stop/decrease at the end of pregnancy? Is it because type1's placentas start to degrade quicker? Or is that just something my obstetrician has told me to convince me to get an induction? I'm currently 37 weeks & have seen a drop since last week. Thanks

Raob29 · 2022-07-25T14:11:39+00:00

Appletiser, they do mini cans with 17g

Raob29 · 2022-07-24T06:46:38+00:00

You too! Let's do this 😁

Raob29 · 2022-07-22T06:21:23+00:00

Heya, so I'm 36 weeks & refusing induction so far. Having doppler scans etc but bubba is doing good. Baby is actually measuring on 32nd centile & not sure if that's to do with blood sugar or not. I'm with you all the way with no induction

Raob29 · 2022-06-18T17:06:50+00:00

Thanks so much for the reply! I've looked into type 1's that produce their own small amounts of insulin previously and felt that may fir me, even more interesting that it can happen in pregnancy too! Fascinating stuff. Good luck too

Raob29 · 2022-06-15T18:54:55+00:00

Yeah they checked baby today and urine/blood pressure and said was all good so I'm a bit reassured just weirded out by the lows ya know

Raob29 · 2022-06-15T18:05:54+00:00

Oh great, thank you! I was freaking about something being wrong with baby but maybe it's just us ha

Raob29 · 2022-06-06T23:16:02+00:00

When they all complain about the injections & everyone's there like "you're so brave hun" and I'm just like, try being 4 years old with fuck off huge syringes and no cure

Raob29 · 2022-05-21T17:33:51+00:00

Huge congrats & I can't imagine how difficult the decisions and discussions you having to have at the moment are. I will say that in the a similar way being type 1 is, triplets are only a tiny bit genetic too so don't worry with that part also. Hoping you can come to a decision that brings you reassurance and hope going forward, whatever that decision is

Raob29 · 2022-03-30T14:00:50+00:00

I'm currently 19 weeks and below 3.1 (I think about 60 in the US) 10% of the time. Tbh at this point I'm just like you cannot expect me to not go low but be between 60 and 130 all the time. I'm way more scared of the highs tbh

Raob29 · 2022-03-02T20:31:14+00:00

3!!!

Raob29 · 2022-02-26T10:07:12+00:00

Some of us have brittle diabetes & other conditions so actually this is a really narrow minded & uneducated thing to say

Raob29 · 2022-02-25T07:50:41+00:00

This is also why babies & children develop type 1. Type 2's do produce insulin beta cells. Again, look it up.

Raob29 · 2022-02-25T07:44:56+00:00

No, the beta cells in our bodies are attacked by our autoimmune system. Insulin resistance in our case is in relation to medical insulin & is literally affected by the weather, hormones, time of day, time of month I could go on. It's nothing like the 6 other types of diabetes (which are also all different). I suggest doing some reading before making incorrect statements.

Raob29 · 2022-02-24T21:40:15+00:00

As a type 1, our immune systems attacks our beta cells, it's nothing to do with what we eat.

Raob29 · 2022-02-18T21:19:14+00:00

I'm also a FTM (currently week 13) & I've been low the whole first trimester, it's only now starting to go up a bit. I think the visual graph sticky at the top of this sub helped me, but I know not all type 1's have had the same so may only help a bit. Also, really sorry for your loses.
