I'm sorry to put it so bluntly, but it was quite possibly nothing more than bad luck for these two events to coincide. It's my understanding that it's quite possible to safely have a baby as a diabetic if the condition is well controlled (<a href="http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/pages/diabetes-pregnant.aspx#close" target="_blank">NHS says</a> HbA1c 6.1% or better). I'm sorry if you DSN is useless, but I think that it is essential to have a care team you can work with; diabetes is for life, and I can't see this working out in the long run if you don't trust them. Consider changing GP, and ask for a referral for specialist pre-conception care.</blockquote>
