Hi all,

Relatively new to all this and need some advice! I'm 27 and was diagnosed last June after several visits to the GP complaining about extreme exhaustion and weight loss- fed up of being told I was stressed- finally had a blood test and WAIT...WHAT.. Diabetes??! talk about a bolt out of the blue!

Anyway, I got married in August and my husband and I would like to start trying for a baby. I'm only 7 months past diagnoses and was wondering if anyone else had a pregnancy this early?

Also I would love to hear any pre-pregnancy tips- I know about the importance of folic acid, but is there anything else I can take or do to ensure a healthy pregnancy? Should I ask for a pump?

Any advice welcome
