I am desperate to start trying to conceive!! I have been attending my pre pregnancy clinic for about a year now. And in that year I have been given a libre and this week am getting a pump, so clearly ALOT of progress has happened in that time. But i seriously dont want to wait any longer! I have managed to get my sugars to a 'good' range - still not perfect but soooo much better than they were. I was having multiple hypo's a day - now barely have one a day. And I've managed to stop the high spikes (have cut carbs down to a maximum of 20g breakfast, 40g lunch and 60g tea - I am following slimming world to get to healthy BMI prior to falling pregnant, therefore was living off pasta and rice, which in turn was causing the high sugar levels) anyway.. basically I am trying to say, would it be seriously irresponsible of me to stop taking my pill now that I am having my pump fitted? I obviously dont want to put myself or the baby at any risks but I can't help bit think that so many people have fallen pregnant in a much worse state, health wise, than myself and have had no issues at all?! Am I being too cautious? Am I being really stupid even thinking this?
