Type 1 & Pregnant
Hi, I am 22 years old. I've been type 1 since the age of 16. At one time I had my blood sugars under good control. Recently I switched to a pump and my A1c was very high because I wasn't using it effectively. Within the last two weeks I've been trying to control my sugars better but haven't been successful all the time. Yesterday I found out that I'm pregnant with my first baby. Probably about 6 wks. I'm shocked & terrified because I worry about any damage I may have already caused within these past few weeks of not so good sugars. Fortunately I can eat better and control my sugar better from here on it. I'm very healthy otherwise. I have no complications from diabetes, I'm normal weight and very active. Is there anyone out there who found out they were pregnant without initial good bg control but had a healthy baby? Please help. Thanks!
