Hi everyone, I’ve recently found out I am pregnant (first time) and I’ve been diabetic for 20 years, I’m currently 9weeks pregnant. Is there any advice anyone can give me? Thankyou in advance to everyone.

Hi @Chloe_robbo02 and welcome to the forums. My experience is a bit old (my youngest is nearly 30) but trust in your diabetic team. You should be seeing someone asap. I assume you've already got a cgm (my main problem during my pregnancies was hypos, which wouldn't have happened if cgms had been around then), and not sure if your pregnancy will push you up the pump q.
I seem to remember extra folate for T1 mums, but your team should give you this if you need it.
Congratulations and I hope you enjoy your pregnancy. Exciting times.
