[QUOTE="JBlaza, post: 894581, member: 193823"] I am in the same boat. We were just about to start trying for a family but were waiting to find out why I had been feeling ill for 5 months which turned out to be the type 1 diagnosis at the beginning of June! I am 30 and while I know loads of people do have babies later there is a lot of pressure to get on with it sooner if you know you want a family. In 6 weeks my HbA1c has come down from 14.4% to 8.8% and my DSN thinks we should be able to start trying in the autumn assuming everything keeps going in the right direction. I have been watching my carb intake as that does seem to make my BG a lot easier to manage, up to about 100g a day so no where near low carb. But I do worry about the honeymoon period and things changing in the future. There is also the psychological impact of not wanting diabetes to take over my life! [/QUOTE]
