[QUOTE="fmacd, post: 1863811, member: 415694"] Congratulations to you; I'm sure all will go well with help from your team and you. I've been type 1 for 40 years and had two sets of twins and one after that so know all about the highs and lows. One thing I remember being surprised by is how quickly your sugar levels can drop. The baby takes what it needs first and you're the husk that's left! Be aware of that as no one had warned me initially that this would be the case and I often found myself horribly hypo. As others have said, keeping as tight a control as possible is so important, not only to avoid a big baby due to highs but also to avoid the baby being hypo when it's born as it makes up for your (possibly higher than it should be) blood sugar. Sounds like I'm giving you all the negatives but none of mine needed a Caesarian and I so appreciated having a great diabetic team that worked with me rather than imposing. So, get onto them asap and you'll give Baby Lilllaura the best start... [/QUOTE]
