Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pipp" data-source="post: 2556567" data-attributes="member: 100904">Hello [USER=562108]@ems2297[/USER] and welcome.Not sure I can help, or who you regard as ‘real diabetics’. I am answering as someone with T2, old enough to be your granny, with grown up children following difficult pregnancies, which did cause a lot of anxiety. So I am not without empathy, and a little understanding.I would hope that as well as telling you of risks the doctors , midwifery team, diabetes team etc are all giving you the opportunity to discuss your anxieties? Also that you have supportive people around you. You need to tell them your fears.It is probably not a good idea to read up on negative outcomes. These last weeks of pregnancy need to have you feeling relaxed and calm. For you and the baby. Although I can’t advise from personal experience, as mine was gestational diabetes, I gave birth to full term, healthy, big baby, after spending 3 months in hospital. This was many years ago, and several other mothers in the ward with me has T1 diabetes. Carefully monitored and induced early if there were perceived problems.Please speak to your teams of health professionals about your concerns. They ought to take those concerns seriously.I guess the main purpose of my post is to bump it up the recent post list in the hope that somebody will have more relevant, up to date, experience to reassure you.Best wishes to you, and please do let us know how you get on.</blockquote>
