[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1891367, member: 196960"] OK. I see your urgency. I see what you are trying to prevent and yes young children are best enjoyed before complications set in or none diabetics health worries get a chance to rear their ugly head. Stick with your current team but be assertive. Not in a stressful way but in the fact that you'd like to get the most active years enjoyed without middle age ailments. No problem in that, nor should there be. I too wanted my children when I wasn't in my 40s but unbeknown to me I was type2 and not on the right treatment. Hence first pregnancy in late 30s and 2nd baby 6yrs later. My body did it when it was ready but definitely not stressed. You must start relaxing and your baby will come, regardless of any hba1c. However lower carbs guarantees less aggressive bgs and way less swings. Have you bought the book "think like a pancreas" A huge help, more than any diabetic nurse in pregnancy unit at Hastings in 2013. A nasty nurse I met too. A one who gave me very dangerous advice. Luckily I ignored her. You know your body best. Keep in mind what works for you. You did 9mths of pregnancy on insulin to give your your health baby no1. You're no novice. Hold your head up high. You have loads of experience with your diabetes. These nurses can guide you but ultimately you are the one controlling things. Get behind improved bgs one at a time. Good luck and let me know when baby no. 2 arrives. ;) [/QUOTE]
