Sorry for long post! I'm type 2 on insulin as my sugars were always mega high but now are really good anyways me and partner would like to try for a baby spoke to diabetic team who said would put me on 5mg folic acid and refer to preconception but I also need to speak to the doc for both of these, went to the doc and he said he doesn't understand why I need to do any of this and 5mg is too high a dose so won't prescribe it for me if I want to try then crack on . Feeling confused I rang 2 pharmacies and asked them if it was necessary for all diabetics to take 5mg or if shop one was fine and 1 said they wernt aware there was a higher dose the other said take lower dose as higher can do more harm than good now I don't know what to do and just want to try already obviously want to be safe and kepe me and baby healthy!! Opinions please
