Hello,

So me and my boyfriend really want a baby, we was trying on the knowledge that my hba1c was 58, had no luck and went for another hba1c which came back at 83 :( So everything is on hold now, and having to become extremely strict on myself and to also not be so paranoid! Has anyone got any tips?? x
 
My tip is test, test, test :)

I found I was having spikes after meals so testing two hours after eating allowed me to spot any spikes, correct them with a corrective dose of insulin (check with your DSN if you're unsure about this) and make a note to have a slightly larger bolus or bolus slightly earlier the next time I ate that meal.

I also did some night time tests just to check how my sugars were.

Good luck! All this tight control is good practice for when you become pregnant. It helped me to think of it that way.
