Started by Rose in Type 1 Diabetes Forum. Last reply by Laura 5 minutes ago. 7 Replies

Hi! I just wanted to see if anyone else out there has been through the ringer with the non-stress-testing of the baby at the doctors. So far I've gone three times (as I'm just starting my 8th month of pregnancy) and all three times my baby has…Continue

But am I the only one that really hates that new DHF avatar?? Every time I see it I cringe; it is so moronic looking to me. Maybe I have no sense of humor, maybe the internet has burned out my cuteness meter. I know the idea is that "DHF is six…Continue

Looking for a job part 3

 

Part 3 starts off not with a baby but with a strike or a near strike. We were well along in the process of having our baby.

Ok, I'm only two days into this medication but it feels like a miracle. I am a T1D for 23 yrs and was in very good control until about 2 yrs ago. For 2 years now I have been looking at a frightening trend line that liked to stay in the 200-300's.
