[QUOTE="katiesay, post: 196237, member: 34935"] Hi everybody :) I've just signed up to this and want to quickly introduce myself and ask for some opinions/advice please. My name is Katie i'm 30 and was diagnosed when I was 10 with Type 1. I have been on the pump for approx 18months and think it's great. During my teens I didn't really take much care of myself and ended up a couple of years ago having major surgery on both eyes due to the high bloods I had been running for quite some time - hence now i'm on the pump!!!! I've worked really hard to bring my HBA1C down from 14.9 to 8.3 and am happy with that and now considering having my first baby with my husband. Here's my question - the consultants at the hospital are putting the fear of god in me saying that they would not be happy with me getting pregnant until my HBA1C is at least 5!!! - Is this true? Is this possible?!?!?! I feel so under pressure now and in an effort to keep my bloods low i'm having hypo's all the time ... putting on weight ... feeling rubbish etc etc etc - I'm sure you all understand! :shock: Sorry to witter on, on my first time here but need some advice deperately. :? Many many thanks, Katie [/QUOTE]
