[QUOTE="dje55, post: 2170963, member: 392659"] Hi Shannon, I'm assuming that you saw an endocrine consultant not an obstetric consultant? You really do need to be on 5mgs of folic acid for at least 3 months before conception to reduce the risk of neural tube development problems to the lowest level. I think most folk stay on their normal insulin doses in first trimester. Baby will take glucose and nutrients it needs for growth and development, no matter what your blood sugar is doing or how much insulin you are taking. However, you will probably experience more hypos than usual and may lose some warning signs - important for family, friends and work colleagues to know this x [/QUOTE]
