Just found out I'm pregnant last week my diabetes hasn't been the best control at the begin of the years, thing have got a little better , when I found out I was pregnant I started doing my sugar levels 10-12 times a day ( fingers are in bits lol ) I really want this I will work so hard to get to my target levels had a rubbish couple of months one of my family members pasted away and I just think this is meant to be! I'm scared of all the things that could do wrong that's why I want to do my best at this!!x
 
Firstly, congratualtions :0) Sounds like you're really pleased with the news, if a little apprehensive.

I used to work at a diabetic ante natal clinic, so I would say get in touch with whoever has clinical responsibility for managing your diabetes and share your news straight away so you can be brought to the attention of obstetric staff and endocrinoligists.
Pregnancy is a time when lots of women make significant changes to health habits, it looks to me as though that's just what you are planning. Good luck, and let go of the guilty feelings about previous poor control, onwards and upwards :0)
