    G'DAY! Type 1 Aussie and up The Duff!

    So, I've been a Type 1 Diabetic since January 2008, [I]after[I] the birth of my first two kids.

    Therefore, being preggers with this third one - aka - Splodge - is a whole new different ball game.

    Also, I had been injecting a combination of Lantus and Novorapid but since October, before falling pg, I moved onto the Animas pump - LIFESAVER!!!!!

    So, is there a Due In August group here?

    By the way, nice to meet you all!

    AWESOME!!!! I thought this was purely an American site - so glad there are Aussies here, Ant Hill and ODAR - you're practically a neighbour - I'm in Bibra Lake .

    And HI to Alura . I'm always upbeat!

    So, I'm actually half British, half Ozzie - makes me one whole nutter, and Diabetic, and preggers to boot - WHOOPS!

    Look forward to bumping into more of you and adding my two cents worth wherever I can!!

    By the way, Ant Hill, you could have got away with your geographical faux pas, I'm hugely gullible - believe anything!

    To be Preggers and happy makes a happy child (Well that's my theory )

    If it was me I would have you in Africa. I would be quite dangerous if I win lotto LOL.
