[QUOTE="Kateyo, post: 1219911, member: 283339"] Congratulations [USER=216936]@Amy.W[/USER]!! It is a very exciting but slightly scary time when you first find out as the reality suddenly hits with regards to diabetes side of it but you'll be surprised at how well you'll manage it when you know that you're doing it for that little baby. The best piece of advice is to test your BS lots, you can't test too much while pregnant. Work on it day to day and basal test to spot where things need changed. Keep plenty of hypo treatment about. I had those small cans of coke in most rooms/at work etc. As others have said you need the higher dose folic acid. It will be a full time job but you'll also be so proud of yourself when you see your hard work paying off and of course once you hold your baby for the first time, you'd do it a thousand times over just for that moment alone :) [/QUOTE]
