I have a friend who is T1 and for most of her pregnancy, she had quite a struggle to control her sugars. She gave birth to a 12 pound baby, and am happy to say, her daughter is healthy (and she turns one in a couple of weeks)! I'm not saying that I agree with how she handled her diabetes care while she was pregnant (and believe me I was scared for her, since I was vicariously living through her), however, you are right with your concerns.

I am not trying to alarm you -- as I, too, am researching about diabetes and pregnancy (my husband and I do not have children yet), and there are alot of overwhelming and scary facts about miscarriages and birth defects due to uncontrolled diabetes...
However, I do need to tip my hat off to you because you are now trying to do everything possible to control your sugars for a healthy baby. There is a TuD group, that Judith, has mentioned and I've been following most of their threads -- every single person in the group will give you words of encouragement and advice on to what to expect.

Anyway, that only leaves me one more thing to say to you,

Congratulations and cheers to a healthy pregnancy!
