[QUOTE="dje55, post: 2164559, member: 392659"] Hi Shannon, I'm a type 1 who had two normal deliveries of two average sized babies. I was quite strict with my carb counting but kept reasoning that it was worth it in the end. Insulin resistance will happen as a pregnancy progresses, so you may end up on huge doses by the end. Please make sure that you get 5mgs folic acid tablets prescribed from your GP. You can't buy them over the counter and you need to be taking them for at least 3 months before you get pregnant. Most health trusts should offer pre pregnancy clinics for type 1 diabetics. See if you can get referred to one asap. It can be a rollercoaster but with your knowledge and experience of your diabetes, you will be grand x [/QUOTE]
