i just got married in dec. my husband is in the army and we are 24 but dont plan to have kids until we're 27 or 28. i talked to my endo about it and he recommended i get on the pump. ive been on shots for 5 years now. heard good and bad things about the pump but if it will help regulate me more so im able to conceive then by all means i would choose the pump. any suggestions on what has worked for yall?

I've just been installed on a pump. I really want to get pregnant asap! Any advice on how to get my A1C down asap is appreciated! I'm being really careful with my diet, checking BG before meals and an hour after. My biggest issue will be how stressful my job as a teacher can get-but I can already see a huge improvement in BG levels with my new pump!

My doctor wants the A1c under 6.5 before trying to conceive. She says that will usually lead to an under 6 A1c during pregnancy.

What are docs recommending your A1C be down to in order to get pregnant? around 6?

Hi Gina--I did genetic testing. It's a bunch of bloodwork that shows if you are at increased risk for particular diseases like Tay Sachs, Cystic Fibrosis, etc. My husband and I weren't at increased risk, so it was really just to rule things out. If you do find you or your partner are at increased risk, you'll get counseling to determine the specifics. Good luck!

Got my 3 month A1C results back today down from a 7.0 to a 6.8 moving along, moving along!! See the endo doc on Friday, we will see what he says.

The gyno wants me to go for genetic testing -- anyone do that?

I've found the CGM (Freestyle Navigator) to really really help in lowering my A1C. I can see trends that I never knew existed before. I've dropped from 8.4 to 7.0 and waiting on the next 3 month test results due today.... fingers crossed.

Cheryl -

I agree I have scoured Amazon for books and resources and a lot of what I have come across are awful. I am so excited to read something "real" Best of luck with the book!
