That's brilliant news !! It's is so great your are planning .
I have been to my first pre conception appointment this Tuesday , and I'd advice you to go there , they will get you right on track and guide you through everything I was very shocked as thought I'd have to go to a few ect , but I was giving the go ahead I'm allowed to start trying . So the better the control the better outcome . A lot of it is tight control .
Before your pregnant before meals 4-7 after meals 2 hours under 10mmol

Pregnancy 3.5-6.5 pre meal . 1 hour meal only up to 7.8 mol , but this is only once your pregnant .
Also to take 5 mg of folic acid nearer the time .
Hba1c they like to be under 7% . What is your current hba1c .do you pump or use injections .

That's just a quick idea of some of the things that need to be done , just to sort of answer your question . But yes deffo go view pregnancy forum .
Loads of lovely girls on there to help and advice .

Good luck with your journey !!
