[QUOTE="PerfectStorm, post: 950346, member: 177771"] Thanks [USER=39639]@azure[/USER], I did OK with insulin when I had GD. I had a couple of hypos which were horrible but hardly surprising as I wasn't given any info on how to calculate how much to take! Slightly scary looking back how much they left me to guess what dose was required. I guess next time j would be better informed about carbs anyway so would know I needed to find out about carb counting. Congratulations [USER=185526]@Pooja80[/USER]. Is this your first child? I have got decent control now but it just doesn't seem quite good enough for those incredibly tight pregnancy targets. I guess I would end up on insulin into the pregnancy but just worry what would happen for the first few weeks as this is a very risky time if BGs aren't tightly controlled enough but may not be at the stage of having been prescribed insulin. I guess this is the sort of thing I will need to ask the DN before trying to conceive. It's not certain we will yet but I hope so. Did you get referred to a pre-conception clinic (I think that's what it's called) before trying to conceive? [/QUOTE]
