[QUOTE="ebony321, post: 196270, member: 17199"] Hi, I've never been pregnant so i can be of little help but hoping my reply may prompt others into some sound advice for you. Seems horrible the consultants are scaring you but to be honest they should be. Having a baby with a high hba1c can cause complications, for mother and baby. (i've had the speech many a time even though i've never had or planned to have a baby!) I can understand the stress you are under, it must be very hard. I've read what guidelines they recommend you to be when conceiving and pregnant so i know how tight they expect you to be. You have already made great progress to come down to 8.3 though so well done. Are you tweaking your basal rates alot? have you done fasting tests to check it's right? and made sure your ratio's are good? Stress definately won't help with controlling your BG's. Just remember good control doesn't happen overnight, keep trying and you'll get there. The most important thing is that when you do get pregnant that you are as healthy as you can be for your baby :) good luck! [/QUOTE]
