I was diagnosed January of 2010. No one in my family has diabetes and I only went in to the clinic because I was pretty sure I was pregnant. Well I was, but they also discovered type 1 diabetes. They sent me strait to the hospital to confirm and to get me started on some meds so my baby would be ok. When I first went in my a1c was 9 something within two and a half months I got it down to 6.0 without the help of a nutritionist ( she made me cry). The hardest part was just when I was going into the second trimester I lost the baby. Since then it has been a struggle to keep up a good a1c. I am hoping to kick things into gear, to go see a nutritionist and start cracking down on a healthy lifestyle so when I am ready to have a child I will be healthy with healthy habits. I have always felt that my baby came down to tell me that I was sick and to get better. So that I would be healthy when he/ she is ready to enter into our world.
