I have had type 1 diabetes for 27 years! Five months ago I just had my third child.
It is a very difficult process , time consuming and tight control, but totally worth it!
You are automatically a high risk and most likely you will have a bigger baby. Depending in control and you history and body, you could very well have a very healthy baby.
All 3 of mine were 8-9 pound babies and 2 were briefly in nicu. I did NOT have a c section, but it was a possibility for sure. They all were induced early. With my first I was hypertension and pre eclampsia , but had zero problems with the other 2.
It is best to start healthy with a low A1 C. The tighter control and healthier you are that much better . It really is a lot of work and about five times the amount of doc visits, but completely doable.
My diabetes was the best control when I was pregnant!
