[QUOTE="Ebs, post: 2002438, member: 501521"] Hi I am new to this forum but I saw your post and had to respond. Nearly 11 years ago I had my beautiful daughter. At the time of conception and for the first 3 months of my pregnancy I did not know I was type 1, so as you can imagine it was devastating to find out. Controling my blood sugar was so hard, it was all new to me. I ended up with kidney stones at 29 weeks, was induced at 37 weeks but ended up with a natural delivery and a healthy baby. Many times throughout my pregnancy I had high blood sugar but as I checked about 15 times a day it was never high for very long. There is so much more support out there now. The option of having a pump, even just for pregnancy can help immensely. See a obstetric diabetes team before you get pregnant and they can talk you through what you should do first. Please don't think you can't do it, remember once upon a time you would have thought you could never have put a needle in your body, and yet now you do it all the time... Good luck. [/QUOTE]
