[QUOTE="Propertyoflife, post: 1313481, member: 13594"] Hi everyone, I recently discovered I am pregnant. I am 27 and have been a type 1 diabetic for 10+ years but I have had extremely poor control for most of the time I have been diabetic. About 8 months ago my hba1c was 119 and I was really ill but I got a new consultant and man aged to reduce it over 5 months or so to 52. I attended my first appointment with the midwife (well actually my second but they thought I was there for a pre pregnancy clinic the first time due to an incorrect referral and told me to come back the next week). They did my hba1c there and it was 53. I was quite pleased because it's a lot better than it was less than a year ago but the midwife and obstetrician didn't seem very pleased at all. I am now completely stressed and worried that I have done irreparable damage. It's my first pregnancy. I'm 8w +5. How concerned should I be? Thanks in advance for any help. I've always found this forum to be extremely helpful so than you Hayley xx [/QUOTE]
