| Hello Prestina!
I had a child when I was 37 and considered pre-diabetic. My blood sugars were closely watched and I went on insulin for part of the pregnancy. (I suppose that means I had gestational diabetes. The control they strive for during pregnancy is MUCH stricter than day to day.) My daughter had mild shoulder dystocia when she was born (a concern with the children of diabetic moms) but she suffered no ill effects from it. It was a bit of a tense moment in the delivery, though!
I did have to have medical intervention to get pregnant, however. I think the years of insulin resistance really effected my ovulation. I didn't have regular periods until a doctor put me on metformin (ostensibly to regulate my cycles, which it did like a CHARM!) and even then I needed a bit of clomid to get things moving. The good news is that we conceived on my very first cycle of clomid.
I recommend that you get an appointment with a reproductive endocrinologist. I have a great one in Richmond, Virginia if you are anywhere near there!
Good luck!
