[QUOTE="azure, post: 1485427, member: 39639"] No need to be sorry at all :) I have Type 1 and 3 children. A diabetic pregnancy is more work because you need to be diligent about controlling your blood sugar, but it's perfectly do-able, as many ladies here can tell you :) I'd also add that you get really good care if you have diabetes and are pregnant. You get a lot of support, extra scans, etc, which helps relieve any worries. The first thing you should do, if you haven't already, is speak to your consultant/DSN, and get an appointment at a pre-conception clinic. This will help you with things like control and ensuring you have the special high dose folic acid that ladies with diabetes need to take. You mentioned being worried that you'll pass on Type 1 to your child. Don't be. Children of mums with Type 1 only have a very slightly increased risk of getting it :) [/QUOTE]
