Message: <blockquote data-quote="BeccaJaneStClair" data-source="post: 300293" data-attributes="member: 42805">I finally had my spotlight session with the other nurse and he was really nice and at the end asked me if I had children/wanted to have any (as I was the youngest in the group!) and I explained to him my plight of having my hormone levels tested but having to abandon it due to the diabetes diagnosis, told him about the GP telling me to drop 2 stone by August, and told him how close I was to the goal.  He said "Hold on while I call a co-worker and ask them a question for you", tehn came back to tell me about a preconception diabetic team at the hospital I need to get a referral from my GP to go see.  I had a phone appointment with the GP who deals with girly bits (she's the one who did my implant insert and removal, but she's not my regular GP or the diabetic specialist GP at my practice) and she said she would put in the referral, but in the meantime, in addition to the 5mg of folic acid my regular GP gave me on prescription, I needed to start taking some OTC Vitamin D.  *sigh*  I was soo soo happy to not need any medication for my diabetes, bp, cholesterol, etc. and now I have to take all these things in the hopes that I'll get pregnant? This better be worth it!! (okay, I know it will....)Oh, and she told me there was a high likelihood that the hospital team will put me on Metformin right away even though I don't need it to control diabetes because it will help me get pregnant.  What??</blockquote>
