Hi people. I've visited this forum but decided I should officially join. I've been Type 1 since 2000, I turn 23 in July. My sister is also T1, since 1983 and she is 27.
I've had my ups and downs of control, after I got my pump in Aug 2006 I easily acheived low 7s but never under 7. Then I let it slip, was busy in nursing school and everyone knows a nurse is the worst patient! Been 8ish since. In March of this year I was 8.1, Talked to my endo about pregnancy (Married for 9 months now) and he seemed optomistic and said to acheive that better control first. So I did what I used to, checked about 5x a day and figured those good numbers I was seeing would bring me back down to low 7s. WRONG. Blammo - 8.0 last week. So we pull back on the prego stuff and now I'm to fax in my blood sugars weekly. Seeing these numbers on paper day by day is worrying me. No patterns to them at all, and only about a quarter of them are in my target ranges. OY.
So I'm hoping that we get it all figured out. Oh, and my CGMS got denied by insurance, cant afford it, so I sent an appeal in today. **Fingers Crossed!!**
Hoping to get some good information from this site.
I'm Ready for Great A1Cs!!!!
