Hi all,
I know you should really speak to doctors/healthcare teams about this but I would like some advice also...
I have been with my partner now for almost three years (also type 1!!) and we want to start trying for a baby together.
It's a while before my next appointment with my diabetic team so I wanted to ask what others have done to help increase the chances of becoming pregnant? And, there's lots about what the mother can do whilst trying for a baby, is there anything that male diabetics can do/should do too?
I've got some work to do to bring down my sugars as nothing seems to be working for me to bring down my HbA1c/general blood glucose levels from the insulin resistance levels I experienced as a teenager... so I know that will help but is there anything else?
Thank you so much in advance!
