We want to have a baby and I was only diagnosed about 6 weeks ago. We have been informed that I would have to go on insulin but am worried about the hypos, driving and me having a needle phobia. They would want me to go on insulin before I get pregnant, but have concerns with being out in the community working with people with learning disabilities. Has anyone been or are going though this situation at present. Please tell me your experiences. I really want to have a family and am 44 and neither of us have had children.
