The first thing you need to do is tell your DR and he should refer you to a high risk obstetrician. They will work with you to get your A1C under 6.5. I just got my ok last mth to start trying so we are really excited, but the more I talk to my dr the more it sounds like I will have to get some more help from a fertility doctor. Alot of diabetics have issues with their hormones and thats why many DR put type 1 on Metformin that are trying to get pregnant for two reason. Its suppose help with hormones and you use up to 6 times more insulin when u are full term and Metformin helps makeinsulin more effective. Unfortunately I'm allergic to it soo I will just be shooting up like crazy. lol. But good luck and keep in touch. I think it great to have someone to talk to about all of this.
