[QUOTE="Alia5, post: 2093512, member: 510424"] Hiya I hope you all are doing well I'm in pretty much the same situation. I am type 2 diabetic and recently found out I was pregnant at around 3 weeks. My hba1c was checked in May and was 87 so around 10% so very high. I am on tablets only.. atm 4 a day. I'm controlling it as much as I can but I think they will put me on insulin soon. I've cut out carbs as that's the only way I can keep my sugars close to the bench marks...but tbh even then they are slightly higher than they should be. They told me not to cut out csrbs but im too scared to eat crarbs now. My first pregnancy I had gestational diabetes but had a healthy boy. Unfortunately the diabetes didn't go. I'm so scared as before I knew I was pregnant I was eating like crazy and wasn't checking so I know the first 3 weeks of my pregnancy my sugars were sky high before I found out I was pregnant . I feel so guilty and scared now as everywhere I read that birth defect or damage occurs early on in first few weeks etc. And I just feel so down thinking have I already hurt my baby by being careless. Sorry feeling very emotional. I feel so unhappy in this pregnancy because I'm so scared to eat and all I think about is that I have caused problems already. I have wrote in so many forums to find out if there are people out there that have had healthy babies in similar situation but never get a reply. I will obviously do whatever I can now to keep sugars down. Sorry for the long essay but i am glad to have found this thread. Any advice would be really appreciated. Best of luck to u all x [/QUOTE]
