[QUOTE="shews, post: 87383, member: 14159"] Sorry to hear about whats happened so far. What is your hbA1c like? I am 27 and type 1 and have just started trying for a baby (literally a few days ago!) so I'm not really experienced to advise you. I have had pretty eratic control for 15 yrs and then started to reduce my carbs to about 50g per day as on january. My hbA1c has reduced by 1% so far and my diabetic nurse suggested it should be below 7.5% before getting pregnant. Low carbing has really helped my levels but during preganacy i think it is important to not be in ketosis at any time so if i do get pregnant i intend to raise my carb intake to approx 70g. The only other advise i can think of is test at least 6 times per day so see if you are getting any undetected spikes during the day. What are your typical diet and doses? [/QUOTE]
