[QUOTE="azure, post: 1179504, member: 39639"] Hi [USER=306412]@Jd040767[/USER] :) Definitely phone your DSN or local Diabetes Centre. Most have a special 'pregnancy DSN'. I phoned mine as soon as I got a positive test. It's also important that women with diabetes take a high dose folic acid tablet. It's 5mg and will need to be prescribed. There have been ladies here with high HbA1Cs at conception, and they went on to have healthy babies. You can't alter the past, but it sounds like you're working hard to get control now, and that's excellent. There was a lady here who got her HbA1C down dramatically after getting pregnant, so it is possible :) Give your DSN a call and get an appointment as soon as possible, is my advice. As for the pregnancy not being planned, just make sure you do what's best for YOU not anyone else or what you think is the right thing to do. Hopefully, speaking with the DSN will help you. Take care - wishing you all the best XX [/QUOTE]
