[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2060580, member: 53162"] Hello Sally, I was gestational with my daughter before I got my t1 diagnosis 11 years ago now. I was only diagnosed gestational at 23 weeks and hadn't been checked before this, at 23 weeks I was put straight into insulin which was a huge shock, and cannot remember how high my HbA1c was, but obviously high enough to warrant insulin. I too was worried about damage etc but fortunately my daughter was induced at 37 weeks and no problems. NICE has guidelines for pregnancy, which are just that, please don't panic or worry as your DSN will help with your management, it's an opportunity to focus on your control now and between now and your appointment, keep a diary and record your carb intake, insulin taken and Bg results so you have a record to discuss when you meet, hormones will affect your control too hence why keeping close contact with your DSN to review is so important. Wishing you well and congratulations too :) [/QUOTE]
