[QUOTE="Charisma_1630, post: 1232099, member: 90717"] Hi, I need some advice. I have one child who I gave birth to 4 years ago, I was on MDI at the time. She was planned but I was very naive that I didn't go to preconception clinic, I didn't really take care of myself until I got the positive at which point I really started taking good care and through really hard work of hourly tests, basically being my own sliding scale, I got my a1c down to 6.1. (Lowest it's ever been) but I want to plan ahead and do it properly this time. Anyway I've been thinking of having another baby for a long time now but my problem is I started the omnipod one month ago and my sugars are all over the place. I've been emailing my nurse a lot but she isn't in any hurry to help me get the control I want and I'm not very confident to change too many settings myself. I know it can take a long time to get better levels on a pump. My questions are should I wait months/a year until my control is better before speaking about it to my team? And also, what happens with preconception clinic with the pump, what does the clinic actually do? I don't wanna have to wait as you ladies know what it's like when you're desperate for another baby lol [/QUOTE]
