[QUOTE="Rosco11, post: 1888002, member: 73006"] Hi, 16 years ago I was in the same predicament. Our local hospital had a specialised Diabetic unit that covered the preganancy. I was never advised on optimal ac1 before conceiving. Would just advise to keep as near as possible ideal level. Just make sure you have your folic acid a few months before. Very luckily I have had two successful albeit two very different pregnancies. The first I get having low blood sugars without any warning and was prevented from driving from about month3 of the pregnancy! Apart from this all went well and had a healthy 8lb 10 1/2 oz daughter. Be warned babies are larger. The second, no issues with low blood sugars and basically felt sick for 9 months and hardly ate. Didnt help kept being advised to stop eating as baby was getting big! in The end had a 10lb boy - to be honest he hasnt stopped eating since he was born :-) I was giving a lot of advice and in the end just worked around keeping my blood sugars as normal as possible. All advice given I seem to be the opposite but it was all fine. Good luck and wish you all the best for your forthcoming nuptials :-) [/QUOTE]
