Hi,
This is my 1st post on here. I am T1D (for 6years now) and 36 years old. I am pregnant for the first time and just had a hba1c test st 6/7 weeks which came back at 7% (53mmol). I am absolutely terrified of doing harm to my unborn child due to high sugars. Would this be classed as high/ harmful?
My hba1c pre-pregnancy was 6.8% (51mmol) so I know I've not met the recommended target. I have been taking folic acid for a few months in preparation.
Does anyone have any advice or experience to share with a scared 1st time mum to be please?!
