[QUOTE="dje55, post: 2258501, member: 392659"] Hi there, I would investigate my local pre pregnancy clinic for women with diabetes. Sometimes run at GP surgery, sometimes within hospital clinics. You can self refer to them. They are great for support whilst lowering HbA1c, and do other stuff to prepare you for pregnancy like checking kidney function and eyes. Don't forget that you need to get high dose folic acid from GP - 5mgs - not available over the counter. You need to take it for 3 months before you get pregnant. A lot of stuff is being done by virtual clinics at the minute, but still very worthwhile. Hope this helps x [/QUOTE]
