[QUOTE="kesun, post: 494328, member: 39776"] I think there are two factors. The first is that most hospitals will categorise you as a "high risk" pregnancy, which makes them readier to intervene at the first sign of trouble, whereas they'd be inclined to let a low-risk woman keep trying on her own for longer. Second, if you can't keep your BG down there's a danger the baby will grow too big and need to be got out early, very likely by c-section. But I don't think diabetes is a big problem when it comes to pregnancy: there are many conditions that are far riskier. Kate [/QUOTE]
