i had kidlet when i was 37 and had type 1 for 6.5 years
my A1c was 5.5 when i conceived, and it stayed at that level thru my pregnancy
kidlet was born just shy of 9 months in perfect health, he's 14 now and a happy, healthy child that i simply adore
you need to connect with a high-risk pregnancy clinic for pre-conception and gestational assistance.......... you see the Dr's a lot while you are pregnant and they stay on top of lab work for you and other health concerns
you are correct, good blood glucose control is essential to ensure the health of your baby. i met a couple one summer, and their child was disabled and will never be able to participate in life, he will need a caregiver at all times for the rest of his life

they love their baby all the same
