[QUOTE="Lucie75, post: 175492, member: 23580"] I'm opening myself up for being shot by saying this, but please don't get everything out of proportion with your control before a planned pregnancy. You have excellent control anyway (I don't think I have ever had an HBA1C below 6.6. You must realise that while it is preferable to have good control before pregnancy and during the first trimester, the pregnancy itself will vastly alter how well you respond to insulin. Your consultant will be on top of this throughout your pregnancy and your control will probably remain good (if you follow the advice). I was always advised to stay within certain parameters with my bg before and after meals, but when I got myself worked up about higher than ideal bg readings the reaction from my consultant was that the odd high reading won't make any difference whatsoever. By the way, my control wasn't as good as yours but both my babies were in the 7lb range at birth, and had no 'defects', so please don't worry. Ok - shoot me now. [/QUOTE]
