[QUOTE="Shannon27, post: 2168539, member: 429571"] Hi! I spoke with my consultant yesterday and she was under the impression that so long as that high dose of folic acid is in your system (ie been taking it for one day) it should be enough to massively reduce the risk to the baby. Personally i would like to make sure my body is accustomed to the high dose so definitely want to be on it a couple of months before. She went into quite a lot of detail about insulin resistance and how high blood sugars throughout can affect the baby - basically the baby just feeds off the excess sugar, resulting in big babies. But would i be able to stay on my standard insulin dose in early pregnancy, or would this need to go down? As some sugar and carbs need to get through for early development. It's so confusing!
