[QUOTE="the_anticarb, post: 158199, member: 16982"] Fevold - so sorry to hear that Langlands - try not to worry too much, I got pregnant accidentally earlier this year with hba1c of 9.6 spent the first few months worrying the baby wouldn't make it but he's still around and so far no sign of problems. I have had to learn very quickly to match my insulin to my carbs, also by testing after meals and correcting any highs with a correction dose I can bring down any highs quickly, before any damage is done. I'm not out of the woods yet as another 16 weeks to go, and I'm desperate not to have the baby grow too big, but hba1c has been 5.5 since I got it all under control and despite my insulin needs increasing a lot (and at different times of the day too so i need three times as much in the morning as the evening) it all seems to be progressing ok. My mum had three of us in the 1970s, no problems, and they didn't even have home testing or hba1c tests then. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
