Hello - my question is long, but I am so grateful for any help.
My husband and I are trying to conceive. This is our fourth month trying. I have an entire diabetes team in place, including a high-risk OB. Here are a few of my stats: A1C is 6.4 and has been there for at least five months. On a pump and sensor (Minimed).Taking prenatals. No diabetes complications.
I am currently in the two weeks between ovulation and being able to confirm the pregnancy. I have no idea if I am pregnant. But here is why I am scared:
Three days in a row I have had a spike up to 270. Two were post-prandial for whatever reason, and one was due to infusion set problems (which is so rare for me). I got all three down very quickly and forced fluids (water). But I am TERRIFIED - I have tried so hard to get everything right, and now I could be pregnant and I screw up big time. I have no idea if I was throwing off any ketones because I was too scared to check. I am also hesitant to call my doctor because I don't actually know if I am pregnant. I've already called twice about other stuff and I don't want to be THAT patient.
Has anyone been pregnant with Type I or had a spouse/partner/friend pregnant with Type I and had this happen? Was the baby healthy? Please help set my mind at rest. Thank you so very much!
